Uhm... The Cat Did It

These marks on my arm?
I didn't self harm.
Uhm... The cat did it!

These cuts on my thighs?
Depression isnt't the sign.
Uhm... The cat did it!

This blade in my hand?
You don't understand.
Uhm... The cat did it?

Ok, you've caught me there,
But do you really care?
If or if not, the cat did it?
