like a cat

he said
you are so like a
cat
and i replied
can you be somewhat
more precise?
would that be a cat
like Maggie
dancing on a hot
roof made of tin
or more like
the cat encountered
by Alice
sporting a Cheshire grin
what about a cat
on the cover of NatGeo
hunched over a
gruesome kill
or the kitty curled
and purring
on your sunlit windowsill
which of those cats
is it that i am so like?
a bit of each he sighed
a bit of each
