My Manx, Mitzi.

I have a little kitten, Mitzi.
She was a Christmas gift for me.
I didn't really want her,
She's black and hard to see.

But when she sits close to me,
with her head up on my knee,
she purrs and purrs so loudly,
she fills my heart with glee!

Mitzi loves to play with toys,
She chases a stuffed mouse.
She runs and hides (under chairs),
And brings me lots of joy!

I am now so pleased to have her share my house with me!
