第21章 PUSSY AND MAY

Listen to what I have to say.Sit on the cushion at my sideAnd have your ribbon neatly tied.You must not try to scratch or bite,And you must never steal or fight;But clear the house of rats and mice,And keep your fur and whiskers nice.The things that other pussies do Would not be right at all for you,You are my cat,Remember that.

You should not scold,or pinch,or strike,Or feed me only when you like;Or shut me out to freeze at night,When you are tucked up warm and tight;But treat me always in the wayYou’d like if you were Pussy Gray.The things that other people do May not be always right for you:I am your cat,Remember that.
