Carl The Cat

There is a marmalade cat
Living on our end of the street.
He is the funniest, friendliest
Cat you'll ever meet.

He's made it quite clear that our house
And 2 neighbors are family--
When he sees us outside, or hears our cars,
He comes running, why stand on formality?

He'll come in your house or car,
And make himself right at home.
He teases our dog, and is buddies
With our neighbors cat--together they roam.

He loves attention, likes to rub your ankles--
And get his belly rubbed.
He'll sleep on your porch,
He knows where he'll get loved.

If someone puts out food,
He'll eat it all down--
Then go to his next "home"
To see what food can be found.

His antics can cheer you
When you've had a bad day,
He used to wrestle with a dog--
No fighting, just rolling around to play.

We all think he's special,
And enjoy when he comes around.
He accepts and loves all of us--
In this world, that's not often found.
