I have two kitties in the house
That I am boarding for a friend.
She said it would be 3 weeks
And that would be the end.

No Problem I said
What trouble could 2 kitties be?
She promised they would behave
And not be mean to me.

She came with sacks and boxes
And food and litter
(Oh, by the way, this friend
Was my house sitter.)

One kitty is pretty old
And moves sort of slow
The other is younger
But may be the first to go.

She has a problem I was told
That requires doctor’s care.
I don’t remember what it is
But I think something very rare.

I give her medicine once a day,
She takes it very well.
Unlike one cat I had —
To give her pills was hell.

Two kitties I have in the house.
I wonder where they could be.
They don’t eat, they don’t drink
And want to hide from me.

I thought I knew every hidy-hole
From when I had Damn Kat.
I’ve looked everywhere I know
And can’t find where they are at.

It’s just like old times
To have kitties in the house.
Hide and seek every day
And step over a toy mouse.
