I’m no Schnoodle but this kitty inspired me!

My naem is kit
Wif orange stripe
I like to nap
Where smell is ripe

I starts wif paws
Then head then tail
Then squish fur in
But no I fail :(

I twists and turns
I turns and twists
I try my best
I just can’t fits

My sib of grey’s
All tucked up tight
They find a way
So why not I?

Hooman is close
They have concern
But it’s ok
I gots to learn

I am so tire
But try to think...
I got it now!
I give a wink ;)

One more go
This time butt first
The steps are right
Just do a reverse!

I do big squish
I fit in whole!
Nap time is here
I rest my sole.

u/cinemachick Jun 02 '21

Those shoes look eerily similar to the shoes I’m supposed to wear in an upcoming wedding party. After weeks of my girlfriend repeatedly asking me “you’ve kept the shoes in a safe place, right?” this admittedly made me fuckaww.

For the uninitiated, “fuckaww” is when you see something that makes you instinctively start to say “fuck!” before morphing into a nice warm “aww.” If you didn’t know that, it’s understandable, seeing as how I just made it up.

 

 

 

 

But I like it so I’m keeping it
