The new cat I want...............

I found a poem I love today, this is the cat that I want to have. I loved talking to my cat when I lived at home and sometimes I enjoyed so much that she never really said anything back, but then I read this poem and for today I want a kitten just like this one.


My kitten won't stop talking.
She just prattles night and day.
She walks around repeating
nearly everything I say.
My kitten never says, "Meow."
She never even purrs.
She mimics me instead in that annoying voice of hers.
She waits for me to speak,
and then she copies every word,
or begs me for a cracker,or says, "I'm a pretty bird.
"I'm not sure what to do, and so I simply grin and bear it.
She's been this way since yesterday;
that's when she ate my parrot.
