Pixie sat by the window wide,
With open curtains at her side.
She\u2019s gotten big, I must admit\u2014
Ten pounds or more, and proud of it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She cleaned her paws with gentle care,
And licked her nails while resting there.
I pet her softly, nice and slow,
She stayed with me, relaxed and low.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But then the cold came creeping fast,
So I had to stop at last.
I grabbed a warmer for my feet,
To bring back comfort, safe and sweet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Three little speeds, a steady heat,
I chose the middle\u2014felt just right and neat.
Now I can rest so warm tonight,
While Pixie stays curled up just right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh Pixie, Pixie, soft and sweet,
With tiny paws and gentle feet.
You sit like a queen wherever you go,
Watching the world in a quiet glow.
Oh Pixie, Pixie, calm and bright,
Keeping me warm through every night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I bought a tower, tall and high,
Fifty-four inches to the sky.
My mom helped build it, screw by screw,
We made it strong and sturdy too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Pixie tried, then said \u201cno way,\u201d
She couldn\u2019t jump or chose not to stay.
She sat below upon the base,
Then left that small and narrow space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A little hide I got to try,
But it was small\u2014she passed it by.
A tiny ball she played a bit,
Then quickly lost all interest in it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She\u2019s picky, yes, that much is true,
She likes what she likes\u2014just like cats do.
So I keep searching now and then,
For something she will love till then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh Pixie, Pixie, soft and sweet,
With tiny paws and gentle feet.
You sit like a queen wherever you go,
Watching the world in a quiet glow.
Oh Pixie, Pixie, calm and bright,
Keeping me warm through every night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Upstairs she watches down below,
Where soft and gentle breezes flow.
Sometimes she rests on levels low,
Just taking in the quiet show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She jumps onto a pillow high,
And curls up soft as time goes by.
She naps or grooms with gentle care,
And licks her paws while resting there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Downstairs she taps my foot to stay,
So I will pet her right away.
She takes my chair without a sound,
A little queen who rules the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At night she curls beside my head,
And claims her spot upon the bed.
She scratches blankets without a care,
Like it\u2019s her kingdom everywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh Pixie, Pixie, soft and sweet,
With tiny paws and gentle feet.
You sit like a queen wherever you go,
Watching the world in a quiet glow.
Oh Pixie, Pixie, calm and bright,
Keeping me warm through every night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Christmas gift from Mommom came,
A cozy blanket, soft as flame.
With orange and black, both bold and bright,
A perfect warmth for chilly nights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I didn\u2019t use it much, it\u2019s true,
So Pixie claimed it like she knew.
She scratched it softly on the floor,
Then curled up warm and wanted more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The floor beneath had marks and wear,
From little claws that scratched it there.
She\u2019d sometimes chew and tug the floor,
Which isn\u2019t good\u2014we know that for sure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So now the blanket covers tight,
To keep things safe both day and night.
It helps protect the space below,
And gives her warmth she loves to know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh Pixie, Pixie, soft and sweet,
With tiny paws and gentle feet.
You sit like a queen wherever you go,
Watching the world in a quiet glow.
Oh Pixie, Pixie, calm and bright,
Keeping me warm through every night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I bought some balls for Pixie to chase,
She played a bit, then stayed in place.
She used to bat them, run and roll,
But now just taps them, slow and slow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She scratches them with tiny paws,
Then stops and stares without a cause.
She almost grabs them, just out of reach,
Then lets them go\u2014no playful leap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She sits and looks down at her paws,
As if she\u2019s thinking, taking pause.
She doesn\u2019t chase them like before,
Just stands and taps them on the floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She runs at times\u2014but not for long,
The bursts are quick, then gone, then gone.
She used to chase them round the house,
Now rarely does\u2014quiet as a mouse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh Pixie, Pixie, soft and sweet,
With tiny paws and gentle feet.
You sit like a queen wherever you go,
Watching the world in a quiet glow.
Oh Pixie, Pixie, calm and bright,
My little friend through every night.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
