A funny poem about the Mystical Powers of Cats in Finding Their Forever Homes - Harry The Cat (or The Cat Distribution System)

Cats have long fascinated humans with their mysterious behaviour and seemingly magical powers. Among these wonders is their uncanny knack for finding just the right place to call home, known as The Cat Distribution System. Harry the Cat is my poem about how Harry came to live with us - even though we have a dog and didn't particularly want a cat!


Cats are known for their independence and selective nature when it comes to choosing where they live. Unlike many pets, cats often seem to decide on their own when and where to settle. This behavior has sparked curiosity and inspired stories about their mystical powers. It also inspired my funny poem, Harry the Cat...

The Harry The Cat (or The Cat Distribution System)


I’ve acquired a pussy cat, much to my dismay

I certainly didn’t want one, he just sort of came my way

Harry came from Harwich where he lived with aunty Pat

But aunty has been taken ill so I’ve acquired a cat

 

I don’t like cats, they bite and scratch and cover you in fur

And they kill our little birdies so it’s doggies I prefer

But no-one else could take him in, I said we’d have a chat

I guess our hearts went out to him, so now we’ve got a cat

 

I think we’re going to like him though, he’s settled in so well

And he won't be killing birdies 'cos I’ve given him a bell

He doesn’t bite or scratch, just purrs happily all day

And he’s very clean and tidy with the dreaded litter tray

 

And what they say is rubbish, cats and dogs don’t fight

They seem to love each other, they bonded at first sight

He cuddles up with Charly and gives a little groom

There’s so much love between those two, they should

get a room!

 

It’s almost like it’s destiny, like it was meant to be

Like the universe decided that we needed company

I never thought I’d have a cat, it’s funny how life goes

Maybe cats have magic powers…possibly….who know?!
