(Read or sing to the tune of My Favourite Things)
Geckos on windows
Chirping quite loudly
Moths swiftly dancing
Or sleeping quite soundly
Pulling down curtains
And chasing ends of strings
These are a few of my favourite things
Leaves on the flowers
Knocking down vases
Bleach on the floorboards
Invariably crazes
Climbing up the flywire
That’s got to be my most
Favourite thing
Waking her up
In the morning
Jumping from a height
Gets me my breakfast
And I will meoooooowwww
With de—–light.

Amber says she likes doing all of those things too, except for curtains.
She’s especially fond of mixing things up, climbing the flywire to get to the moths who are invariably OUTSIDE!
Luckily for me she wakes up others for breakfast and leaves me sleeping. Such consideration!!!!
GO PANDA!!!!!!
Amber you are a considerate little kitty unlike my petulant pussycat…as soons as she wakes me up…she eats her breakfast then goes off and sleeps!
what a cute poem set to one of my favorite songs in my pick of movies of all times. Your kitten sounds adorable and exasperating. Thanks for the fun.
