People are starving in Africa,
but the cat is at his bowl
complaining about the
vast sliver of bowl
daring to peak through
cat biscuits
There's murder on the news
but the cat is at the door
complaining about the rain -
and what are you going to do
about this climate change?
You can't deny it,
you know it's serious
when it's a cat-world problem
because the fatter the cat
the bigger the noise

P.S. Although of course neither of our cats are fat - they're just...big boys. And absolutely gorgeous...if a little demanding.
