The author of this is unknown (at least to me), but I thought it was incredibly sweet.


My Human

My human thinks I'm a dog. I stare through the picket fence, watch
dogs trotting on leads, snuffling at the pavement, obedient,
obsequious.

I meow.

My human thinks I'm a dog. She walks me on a harness. She says the
red colour shows off my green eyes, complements my blue-grey fur.

I hide.

My human thinks I'm a dog. I climb trees; she pulls me down. I chase
birds; she tugs the lead. I crunch grasshoppers; she frowns. I bolt
home; she says 'sit'.

I yowl.

This morning when I wake she grooms me with a brush, strokes me,
exclaims
'there are rainbows in your fur. You are my lovely cat'.

I purr.
