Lilly

 

Curled up, all snuggled

under the blanket next to me.

 

She's sound asleep, my little darling

(she's very tiny), with bliss on her face.

 

Off to her dreamland, that only

she holds the secrets of what it may be.

 

She's making it look so peaceful,

like it's the best place in this world.

 

Does she seem this content because

there, she's the recognized Queen that she is?

 

Where everyone understands her will and

there're no indignities of having to explain?

 

Or maybe there, she's finally tamed to her liking

these bipeds that she tolerates in her domain?

 

These suckers for her cuteness who are so

easily malleable to her whims - as they should be...

 

She's lightly snoring next to me,

Curled up, all snuggled tightly

 

under the blanket next to me,

my sweet little Lilly,

 

and I have a warm smile.

I can only smile.

I'm more of a dog person, but I like cats too--and all animals, except I'm not extremely fond of snakes :)

Enjoyed reading this very much.

A true joy to read my cat considers me as a part of nature and the perfect place to lay on:D he places his heart right above mine lies down and purrrrs :) I can feel the vibration, his heartbeat almost like he massages my heart:) and I didn't taught him to do that he discovered it all by himself:)!

Royalty comes in small packages here, cuteness too.

My feline royalty is about the size of your
average domestic house panther:)

Such tender loving words for a dear little one. As they say the best things always come dans le petit paquet :-) Reading the story of your little queen could not fail to bring a happy smile to this reader. And yes I am sure she would say meow in agreement to being the queen of "her domain".
