Hide & Seek with a black cat
This may sound weird or silly, but I find it fun.
The reason; I usually win when all is said and done.
Close your eyes and I’ll go run-you begin the count with a loud purring 1.
One you reach 10, I will be safe in my hiding spot.
Do not cheat and bring out that toy-the one with the bright red dot.
I am great at this game as I hide well with my soft black fur.
Let’s hope I don’t give it away with a loud happy purr.
I am waiting and watching for you to get near.
So I can pounce. Jump all over you and maybe pop you in the derriere.
You might even see my eyes reflective in the night.
That will surely give it away, or give you a great fright.
Don’t expect me to hide in a corner, or on top of the bed.
I know better, cause I got great instincts-I use the smarts in my cat head.
I got the tools to be really good as this game.
It is my luck to be black; my cat world of fame.
I can been sneaky and coy but I am cute as you know.
I will, if I can… reach out and grab your great big toe.
My claws will give it away because they are pure white.
That is ok, because when you find me everything will be alright.
The moral of this hide and seek story is simple and such.
I will tell you what it is; don’t get you nickers in a bunch.
You’ll never find what you are looking for where you think it will be.
I may hide and play but I am always besides you in your heart-you’ll see.
I love belly rubs, cuddles purrs and playing hide and seek.
What I really love is my forever home, because you are mine to keep.
Yes, you found me!
