You cannot claim me,
A cat has no master.
My attention will be given to you
On my terms and whims.
Accept my affection if you will;
Love is love when freely given,
I can be generous with it.
But do not stay me when I go.
I will eat your food, but continue to hunt;
Like any creature not overly domesticated,
I need to rely only on myself for survival
And take no one for granted.
Ariel
January 1989
