Black Ball of Fur

One day, on the park bench next to my house laid this black cat. It didn't have any tags and wasn't very friendly to anybody. I dare try to pet this cat, and it purred at me. So I petted it whenever I came by.

One day, it followed me home. I picked her up and gave her some heated milk. Then I put her in my room.

She seemed to like laying around and sleeping on my bed at anytime of the day. Lounging about and leaving trails of wet paw prints and fur behind. She liked water from the sink and the wet food I fed her.

Then she decided one night while I was sleeping, that it was okay to smush me over to one side of my bed, while she has half the other.

She's my little black ball of fur.
