Part 1 — MY PECULIAR KITTY

I have a little kitty, Just as cute as she can be; But my! she is peculiar! For she eats her catnip tea! After every meal she eats She tidies up her head, And washes carefully enough;— But she never makes her bed! I’m told a kitty cannot talk, But my kitty every day Tells me that she loves me When we are at our play! Yes, she tells me very plainly And I will tell you how,— I ask, “Who thinks a lot of me?” She answers, “Me! Me—ow!” —J. E. F.
