What Cats Do For Us

Warm our laps

Give us someone to talk to

Help reduce high blood pressure

Bring the winter air inside, nestled in their coats

Create a kindred feeling with other "cat people"

Make us more aware of birds

Donate their services as alarm clocks

Contribute to living a longer life

Make a window sill more beautiful

Keep mice on the run

Make us smile

Inspire poets and playwrights

Teach us how to land on our feet

Let us indulge our desires to really spoil someone

Make our homes warmer

Remind us that life is mysterious

Share with us the all-is-well experience of purring

Instruct us in the luxurious art of stretching

Show us how to lick our wounds and go on

Give us cool cartoon characters

Make even an old worn couch look beautiful

Open our hearts
