My Ophelia sits, poised and preening
like a big question mark
ready to go, ready to stay
I scratch and rub her back gently,
she curls and purls, asking for more.

I take her into my arms,
embracing as children and lovers do.
She is quick to read the meaning
behind the gesture, murmurs contentedly,
affection is her due.

Then I brought home another one,
furry and white, as cuddly as she,
but she threw herself into a fit of pique,
demeanor turned bizarre, like a puppet
manipulated by an unseen force.

I never dream my good intentions
she does misunderstand.
I puzzle how one cat, male and sensuous
sends Ophelia, she-cat and sensuous too,
scurrying, delving into madness.

Heh.Heh Either she is pitching a fit and hoping you'll leave the room so she can take care of some business with the male cat. That, or she is just the jealous type and doesn't want you to show Tom any affection.
