Ask The Cat Poem by Ben Gieske

Man: Why do you sleep so much?
Cat: To dream.

Man: What do you dream about?
Cat: My lover.

Man: Tom, the neighborhood cat?
Cat: It was love at first sight.

Man: You were just staring at each other through the window.
Cat: I’ll never forget.

Man: What do you know about love?
Cat: I was a mother four times.

Man: Pure instinct.
Cat: I remember.
