A poem about the troubles and joys of living with an asshole cat

My Asshole Cat: A Poem
Bree Carey

My cat is a total asshole.

Last night I was changing after a shower, but he wanted food NOW

So he bit my nipple.

What the f**k?!?

My asshole cat is so violent in burying his poop that

he ends up kicking his turds out of the litterbox

and onto the floor.

He steals things from me,

A highlighter

A makeup brush

The pompom off of my slipper

And pushes them under the door and into the hallway.

Then he gets upset that he can’t reach them

And cries until I go get them back for him.


My asshole cat is trying to make me fail my classes.

He knows the sound of me getting ready to leave

And as soon as he hears the jingle of my keys

He flops onto his back in front of the door

Giving me his fluffy warm belly

As if seductively saying

“Come touch it, you know you want to…”

And I do want to,

But I can’t,

Because I am already late for class

Because

I was cleaning up shards of my broken coffee mug

That my asshole cat pushed off of the desk.


My asshole cat is determined not to let me sleep.

I get woken up at two in the morning

Because he has decided it is very important

For him to clean me right now

Specifically, the inside of my ears

And there isn’t a weirder way to wake up

Than with a sandpaper cat tongue inside of your ear.

After I push him away

He settles himself on my neck,

Cutting off the majority of my airflow,

And goes to sleep purring.

I don’t shove him off

Because there isn’t a better way to die

Than being strangled by your cat.


My asshole cat knows when I am upset

He hears me crying and comes over to investigate

He likes to lick the salty tears off my face.

He purrs and rubs against me, begging for pets

Doesn’t he know this time is about me?

My asshole cat hates getting wet

He is terrified of rain

But he will happily tolerate

Being soaked by the tears that fall

From my face into the fur on his belly

Because he knows that this is what I need.


My asshole cat likes to lay between me

and my boyfriend when we spend the night together

As if to say “Back off, bucko, she is mine,”

And I don’t stop him

Because even though he is an asshole

He is my asshole.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
