MY PECULIAR KITTY

I have a little kitty,

Just as cute as she can be;

But my! she is peculiar!

For she eats her catnip tea!

After every meal she eats

She tidies up her head,

And washes carefully enough;—

But she never makes her bed!

I’m told a kitty cannot talk,

But my kitty every day

Tells me that she loves me

When we are at our play!

Yes, she tells me very plainly

And I will tell you how,—

I ask, “Who thinks a lot of me?”

She answers, “Me! Me—ow!”
