<verse>
<line>Some grown-ups say that you can&#039;t own a cat,</line>
<line>that they&#039;re God-like and have to be free.</line>
<line>Try as I might I just half believe that.</line>
<line>He is like a god, but inwardly.</line>
</verse>
<verse>
<line>Felix can stand on the iciest roof.</line>
<line>He can stand on a hot radiator.</line>
<line>Felix is utterly hot-and-cold proof.</line>
<line>He&#039;s as tough as an old alligator.</line>
</verse>
<verse>
<line>Felix can doze on the softest beds,</line>
<line>or sleep on the point of a pin.</line>
<line>Felix can&#039;t know what uncomfortable <em>is</em>.</line>
<line>He&#039;s proofed against everything.</line>
</verse>
<verse>
<line>Felix can eat at the poshest restaurants.</line>
<line>He can raid the smelliest bins.</line>
<line>Felix eats any meat nobody wants.</line>
<line>Provided you open the tins.</line>
</verse>
<verse>
<line>Felix can climb as high as a tree.</line>
<line>He can balance along a sky line.</line>
<line>Felix does this, and then comes home to me.</line>
<line>That&#039;s how I know he&#039;s mine.</line>
</verse>
