If I were a cat
I’d sit on a bed
As if it were a throne

If I were a cat
I would strut around the house
Like it was my own

If I were a cat
I’d sleep half the day

If I were a cat
On your lap I would lay

If I were a cat
I’d let you pet my fur

If I were a cat
Only for you I’d purr.

This is really cute. If I were a cat I'd sleep a lot :D. P.S. "I like bannanas. bannanas are good"
