Since the cat without a right forepaw kept licking my hand and rubbing his face against me
I thought how cute he was
And I let him do it for a while

When I was working at the animal hospital
I took him outside of the cage and played with him for 5 minutes every day until a next patient’s visit

And he always licked my hand and rubbed the right side of his face against my hand
It just made me happy and I said “Thank you” and “I love you” as I thought

But looking back now
You were just using my hand to wash your face because you cannot wash the side of you face without a forepaw, weren’t you?

In token of that
Looking back now
You were always washing the left side of your face by yourself after you licked and rubbed me a lot

You fooled me but we had a good time

You always rubbed the right side of his face against my hand because you could not wash it without me
I was just innocent and I said “Thank you” and “I love you” as I thought

But looking back now
You were definitely washing the side of your face without a forepaw for sure

In token of that
The left side of your face was clean but the right side without a forepaw was always yellowish

You fooled me but I love you even now
You fooled me but I’ll keep living like this
