I love this little love poem by Laura Cronk. It somehow serves as criticism of and appreciation for cats, as well as of the beloved, and of the differences between people generally.
Who among us hasn't known figures like these?
I found it in the the Best American Poetry 2019 but you can seek out more of her work in her book
Having Been an Accomplice (Persea Books)
