You’re so very soft, little one
Your purr is magic, little one
Your presence welcome, little one
You mark me with your bitey, scratchy affection, little one
It’s worth it, little one
It always has been, little one
I don’t know if you’re sentient, little one
Or if your entire character is only in my head, little one
Or if you’re just a blank slate with instinct, little one
But I love you all the same, little one, I love you all the same
So sleep well, little one
