Patches

Jump, look from side to side,
yawn, yawn again, jump up,
inspect, meow, jump down,
jump back up, lay precisely
where I'm trying to write
because I'm not paying
attention to you, cat,
knowledgeable, eerie,
not looking for petting,
just to be observed, off
you go leaving a fine
quantity of hair behind,
chillin'.

The cat I live with is named Patches. She meows from time to time. We can't let her go outside at night because then coyotes might eat her.
