Today, I woke to the sounds of my cat (Tiger) scratching at my door
His cries begging for entrance to his place of comfort
I stumble to the door in my half awakened state
Tiger zooms past me as if after a mouse
Only to find that he’s taken my spot on the bed
So I tend to morning coffee
And wake the household one by one
It isn’t easy when sleeping is so much more fun
Than forcing your way through an ordinary day
But with Tiger at play it’s sure to be superior
He nudges my leg to let me know that he’s ready to be fed
So he can stay on his feet
Keeping his roomies on the run
I only wish my own tasks could be as much fun
For now I’ll take Tigers pur, nose twitch, and leg nudge
At day’s end, the children are tucked in for the night
Tiger scratches at my door looking for a place to lay his head
Rolled up tightly in a ball upon my rug was he
My faithful companion he shall always be
My Faithful Companion©
