Purk

Earlier today I was feeling bummed out, then someone posted a cat vid on YouTube.
I must say, of all the poems I've posted here, as a category (no pun intended) it's the character cats that get the most positive comments.

Purk

You may well be concerned
  About what’s all the hub-bub
It’s only our Purk
  Demands tonight’s tummy rub,
He knows when all day long
  It’s time he gets attention,
Like his breakfast at eight,
  Tossed cat treats at four,
And when he scoots on the floor
  I’ve done things I won’t mention,
But when bedtime arrives
  That’s the time when he thrives
To jump up next to me,
  With big eyes, and roll over

Though he’s a cat I admire
  Sometimes I’m just too tired,
Knowing full well if he gets not what he wants
  All night long he will haunt, and taunt, 
  Until I relent,
First not at all meek’
  He’ll paw claws at my cheek,
Then with feline blithe grace
  He'll sit down, on my face,

"Ok,
  Yes I love you, Mister Cat,
  It’s not all bad as that,
So roll over and show me
  That soft tummy fur
There you go, fuzzy Purk,
  there you go,"… and he purrs,
"Yes kitty…," and in a minute he snores,
  "Wheeemp, wheeemp,"
And we both know tomorrow, 
  We’ll do all this once more
