Cat Servant

Cats that kept me as their owner
Long ago when I was younger
Taught me much, though I’ll admit
I was a very slow learner
 
I like to think I played a part myself
Cementing interspecial ties
Or bonding, if you will
I’d rather not admit the fact
Admit that what it really was
Was I served them
And all they learned from our relationship
Was how to best put up with all my failings 

But my memories are fond
And they treated me well
I miss them
