Someone with Fur

Someone so soft
sleeps in a loft.

Someone likes bugs
crawling on rugs.

Someone can stretch
trying to fetch.

Someone jumps high
chasing a fly.

Someone who naps
curls up on laps.

Someone will hide
playing inside.

Someone at night
sees without light.

Someone with fur
knows how to purr.

Someone like that
must be a cat.
