Sweet, Little Persian Poem by Maria C. Pires Costa

She's neither thin nor fat
This sweet, little cat!
Her brown eyes follow me
So friendly!

She's apparently shy
Enjoying lifting her tail
Whenever she passes by.

Her soft coat keeps her warm
And it doesn't look uniform
For sometimes it tends to change
From its pearl colour
Into a darker one slightly strange...

She's a pretty loyal friend
Eager to share her quiet days
Just counting on our care
To enjoy long, happy family stays!
