Kittyfied

A tiny fuzzy ball of fur
The family thinks the world of her
She goes racing down the hall
Bouncing like a rubber ball

She’s very easily amused
A ball of string is all that’s used
She rubs your leg to show affection
And hisses at her own reflection

Even I think that she’s sweet
Except for when she bites my feet
She is ornery that’s for certain
Especially when she climbs a curtain

And I’ve vowed to get rid of her
When she scratches on the furniture
But then she’ll come and nuzzle me
When I sit down to watch TV

The anger is all put to rest
When she comes to lie upon my chest
And starts to purr her kitten song
As if she has done nothing wrong

No matter just how hard I’ve tried
I’m afraid that I’ve been kittyfied
