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?!
