11/27/08 Cat Rat

It's odd,
but when my cat
does the right thing
(like sleep)
he looks so much
like a cat.

And I think,
cat people like myself
are so clever
to choose to share
their space
with such lovely animals.

But then,
when he does
the wrong thing
(like destroy shit)
he looks
exactly like
a giant rat.

And then I think,
well, I shouldn't be surprised
that my stuff is all wrecked
since I live with a gigantic rat.
