The cat lady gene has evolved within us,
Coded in our DNA
And revealed by the environment in which we mark our time.

For even and especially the most intelligent
Can find themselves overtaken
And overrun by cats.

In this age of cold love,
There's something warm about a cat,
Who, in spite of its aloof independence,
Chooses to come
And rub itself on your leg
And purr.
