A face that's so appealing

Accompanied with a purr

A look that says, 'Come stroke me

‘I have the softest fur'

I had a cat companion

Who shared my town house home

He used a handy door flap

When he would like to roam

His night forays a mystery

But evenings he would spend

Curled up here upon my lap

A faithful feline friend

Sadly he then passed away

The house was not the same

Without my friendly ginger tom

And Oscar was his name

Yet I have not replaced him

My lifestyle wouldn't suit

Even such a Siamese -

Although he does look cute.
