Grown-up Cat

Marty is now a grown-up cat.
He is all of six months old
And has his new cat collar
To keep the fleas away.
He still lies on my chest and licks my face.
In the morning I give him
Biscuits and water. No milk.
He gets his catfood in the evening
Before he goes out the catflaps exploring.
He sleeps all day
Somewhere in the dishevelled house,
Although he attacks his scratching post
When I come downstairs in the morning.
He is the best of cats.
Always interested.
With his grey coat and white paws,
white chest and half a white moustache.
He still likes to play with his black mouse.
Dunking it in his food
And bringing it to me to throw for him to retrieve.
And he scratches the furniture. Naughty boy.
He is a proper grown-up cat.
