It might have been cats were hated
rats were free to roam, venerated
than a twist of fate occured
what of cat have you lately heard?

One who brushed Beth's sheltered leg
became an ornament in throne room steads
from a group of kittens not adults cats
which learned the smell of a villan rat
smelled a rodent in the chamber corner
where pies were prodded by Mr Horner

Now kittens don't wear mittens naturally
their moms don't wash them either
with their paws exposed, they soon cried
but Mom had their mittens faithfully dried...

Might be that cats were once hated
they knew to wash mittens unabated.
On a change in fate for floor board pests?
wonder if Beth's cat ever had a night's rest!

changed the order of lines in stanza 2 for a more fluid read..I had a faithful cat too
unfortunately gone 3 years now...and others I had to leave behind in Italy.
