My cats moved in with me last night
& I can already tell how much they help
Just having other living things nearby
Gives me a boost in my own vitality
Like they’re my furry vitamins & minerals
Especially since they don’t disturb the peace
Other than when demanding pets from me
Which I can’t complain – it also helps
When I’m stuck in my head & lost
In a forgotten thought that leaves
Me with nothing other than anxiety
Of wondering what I might be missing
& telling myself it must not be important
Yet still wasting time looking for something
That’s no longer there since there’s nothing
Better to do – except now there’s always
A chance to cuddle with my kitties
Which is a way better waste of time
Than losing my mind & becoming unkind
