Come on over and love me up. I so admire your big gold eyes and long black whiskers. He loves the kisses Rolling and soft murmurs as we watch TV How relaxing this is. Every day when I go away, my attentions he misses But count on it:  He won't be still Perching out on the window sill calling out with all his will singing his heart out to neighborhood misses And when at last I'm home again he lets me know It's been too long wherever I've been Slipping off my shoes, I softly whisper, "My, such big gold eyes and long black whiskers." He's not pleased when men come calling He gasps on smoke and the stench of beer They're much too loud, and three's a crowd But he flaunts his charms when ladies are here With a kingly stride he proclaims his entrance Endeared are they, he knows in a glance "Oh, see those luminescent golden eyes and long black whiskers." It's hypnotic, peering into eyes never blinking Those wondrous, golden, moon-like eyes mysteriously veil all he's thinking There come times when I'm low and sinking, glow of life dimming, shrinking No, not again, down I'm slipping familiar dark whirlpool firmly gripping                                                                    down                                                                            down                                                                                   down                                                                                           down                                                                                                        ever down Ebbing low, it's of white zin' I'm thinking Fond echoes of goblet and carafe crisply clinking But my friend and savior lifts my mood and my down spiral he does preclude After all, it's much better I partake of food. I reflect that an undesired gift, a "rescue" of best intentions made whose denial would have caused a rift in a friendship nurtured over a decade This rescue gift, truly more than a gift A travesty to call it ownership A blessing, tho' one so grand, it is only I who understand. It's a splendid treasure of joy and companionship Life has its troubles, but it could be worse I don't exist with the loneliness curse.                                                            T.F.Kaye

Over the years, I have had several girlfriends who had large male cats, whom they adored.  Single and living alone  for various reasons, it seemed to be all they needed.   How many single ladies have you known that live alone with just their male cats?
