Likening myself to a cat, I must decide to stay inside and lounge with leftovers or get dressed and go out to eat.

A couple of the lines are a bit rough. Feel free to make suggestions.
Look for a extra peculiarity



Decisions, Decisions

On catty days I want to laze, and purr
myself to sleep.
I want to curl like a languishing pearl
in an oyster resting deep
I want to recline, but nip of feline piques
my curious senses
but to abandon, my companion pillow
makes me pensive
I'll think about that as a cat, pondering
the worth of nip
Can a fleeting high better the sigh, of pleasant
sleep, into which I'll slip?

Warm, cozy, and purrfectly dreamy, this sways me to stay and sleep. The visuals are soothing as well. Lovely in every way.
