So the cat spends its days playfully exploring its surroundings. The cat is so happy and content, and its big, fat body is a testament to that. The cat is so fat that he can’t even run to save his own life and loves to keep eating no matter what’s there on her plate.

My Big Fat Cat Poem 

I own a big fat cat-

The fattest for miles around.

Wherever there's lots of food,

That's where he'll be found.

 

He's really good at eating.

It's a talent, I suppose.

I'm sure if he keeps at it

He'd win the talent shows.

 

I own a big fat cat-

He weighs at least a ton.

He couldn't run to save his life.

Yes, he isn't much fun.

 

His favourite room's the kitchen.

(I'm sure we all know why.)

He eats just about everything,

So that's why, with a sigh...

 

I'd like to tell you, Teacher,

I'd like to tell you straight,

I might have "accidentally" dropped

My homework in his plate.
