Ode to a small tortie cat

The Tat on our Mat
Is quite something at that
Coloured like a Koi
Into a feisty "toi toi"

Plastic bags make for great rustles
Soccer balls for the best hustles
This tat on our mat
Is an active one, at that.

She rather loves water and can be found in dripping showers
She escapes through any window and hides in leafy bowers
If the dishwasher is open - she's immediately "in there"
And no string is left unattacked if dangling in mid-air

Cute with a "prrrr-ow-ff" which means a warm hello
Or sometimes "that's it - beware of my swift blow"
Chasing poor Angel with glee in her mock glare
This cat has much personality even in her "put me down" stare

There are days when I wonder just what we have done
Getting young Thunderbolt for our also young son
Days when I laugh until my sides simply ache
This kitty is Ms Personality, even if she keeps me awake.
