CATS

Cats cough up hairballs
shed hair and puke.
People clean it up.

Cats stay away from babies.
Babies pull hair,
twist ears and poke fingers
into tender eyes and noses.

Babies have fun
Cats don't
When babies do.

Cats shred couches also newspapers.
People get mad.
Cats don't care.

Cats are attracted to people
who watch television or read books.
People chuckle.
Cats get their ears scratched

Cats are attracted to people
who are sick or dying.
it makes people feel less alone.

I don't know what the cats get out of it.
