Some Days I Think I'd Prefer To Be A Cat

This cat was lying in a tree, with the view of the sea, how good can life be?



Somedays I think I'd prefer to be a cat
snoozing on the sofa
dreaming of this and that
when my life is full of misery
I think of the cats that have it easy
no need to apologise
no need to worry
no need to be sorry
they yawn and just close their eyes
When they're stretched out by the flaming fire
it's plain to see
they have no guilty desire
they just let it be
no need to apologise
no need to worry
no need to be sorry
they yawn and just close their eyes
so carefree
so carefree
fueling my jealousy
carefree
carefree
what kind of cat would I be?

  4. Ahh yes the life of a cat, I would be a siamese. Somewhat odd and noisy but very soft and cuddly.

    Mine always comes to sit on my lap while I'm working on intricate things. She knows exactly how to disturb me when I'm concentrating myself... Lovely post! :)

  12. The text can fit in for my big cat but not for the little one because he is always follow me around in the house and it feels like he prefer to do things not just sleep eat etc. He is so fun becuase when he plays with his toys he is always clean up afterwards, he puts back the toy at the place he keep the toys and if he wants to play again he goes and get them again. :)
