Cats- sheets – cuddly paws

I saw a cat upon my bed
on my sheets it’s hairs all shed
It purred so sweetly in my ear
Until its-sparkling claws appeared.

Luckily my eyes had closed
It only scratched my forehead, nose
Then onto my pillow lay
It’s demise now just a whisker away.

The time had come for it to go
Schemes in my head began to grow
I look again my heart thaws
How could I hurt those cuddly paws.
