Just a cat
Say those who couldn't see her spirit
Those who never felt her warm weight
On their chest
Purring
Vibrating away all the sadness
That had gathered there
Because of you
Just a cat
Say those who never felt her gratitude
After feeding her a warm meal
On a cold day
Those who didn't experience
Her leaping into their arms
The first time they met her
Just a cat
She's just a cat
But she has more range of emotion
Than you do
Just a cat
But she never disrespected me
Like you did
Just a cat
But at least she doesn't judge me
For not having a nice enough house
Or for wearing the wrong clothes
Or for choosing the wrong career
Just a cat
But she loves me for who I am
More family than any human ever was
Just a cat
But she's worth more than a million of you
Yes, she is just a cat
But the name I gave her suits her
Athena
Named for the goddess of wisdom
She has a damn sight more wisdom than you
But she's just a cat
No, she's not
She's a friend
She's family
She has a soul
And a personality
She is motherly
Kind and sweet
Warm and gentle
Her middle name is Honey
A reflection of her character
She is not a cat
She is a sentient being
She means more to me
Than most humans
She is not
Just a cat
She is an angel
Who chose fur

I like to write, if that makes me a writer, then rock on!
I started writing as a child because I ran out of stuff to read. So, I only write stuff that I like. If you like it too, awesome! Enjoy! ^_^
