Don't Fear The Cat

To me it seems this cat is thick
My leg went numb and starts to sting
My head performs a random trick
And all my blood boils in a bit

Can I afford to care for her?
And lose myself into her fur?
Or listen how she meows and purr?
Have I the strength to care for her?

I see the claws, I see the teeth
I see the missing puzzle piece
And if there is a threatening list
Is shorter than those better things

But will she think I’m just a mouse?
What will she think about my past?
Will she enjoy the greenest grass?
Or climb a tree and watch me pass?
