I was born a dog

I was born a cat

I was made to play

I was made to eat

I grew up to be tall and fast

I grew to be quiet and quick

I can make noise and bite at danger

I can perform stealth attacks and flee in terror

I am the joyful best friend

I am the fluffy overlord

I am the old lady’s lap warmer

I am the little girl’s football

I seek the master’s affection 

I receive gifts for my greatness

I protect against all creatures 

I present my kills to the peasants 

I am the terror of squirrels

I am the terror of rats and birds and naps

I like getting my head scratched for doing a good job

I also like getting my head scratched but I show my relief more than the dog

I love my master

My master loves me

I am dog

I am cat

We are pets.
