C’est un petit chat noir effront\u00e9 comme un page,
\nJe le laisse jouer sur ma table souvent.
\nQuelquefois il s’assied sans faire de tapage,
\nOn dirait un joli presse-papier vivant.<\/p>\n
Rien en lui, pas un poil de son velours ne bouge ;
\nLongtemps, il reste l\u00e0, noir sur un feuillet blanc,
\nA ces minets tirant leur langue de drap rouge,
\nQu’on fait pour essuyer les plumes, ressemblant.<\/p>\n
Quand il s’amuse, il est extr\u00eamement comique,
\nPataud et gracieux, tel un ourson dr\u00f4let.
\nSouvent je m’accroupis pour suivre sa mimique
\nQuand on met devant lui la soucoupe de lait.<\/p>\n
Tout d’abord de son nez d\u00e9licat il le flaire,
\nLa fr\u00f4le, puis, \u00e0 coups de langue tr\u00e8s petits,
\nIl le happe ; et d\u00e8s lors il est \u00e0 son affaire
\nEt l\u2019on entend, pendant qu’il boit, un clapotis.<\/p>\n
Il boit, bougeant la queue et sans faire une pause,
\nEt ne rel\u00e8ve enfin son joli museau plat
\nQue lorsqu’il a pass\u00e9 sa langue r\u00eache et rose
\nPartout, bien proprement d\u00e9barbouill\u00e9 le plat.<\/p>\n
Alors il se pourl\u00e8che un moment les moustaches,
\nAvec l’air \u00e9tonn\u00e9 d’avoir d\u00e9j\u00e0 fini.
\nEt comme il s’aper\u00e7oit qu’il s’est fait quelques taches,
\nIl se lisse \u00e0 nouveau, lustre son poil terni.<\/p>\n
Ses yeux jaunes et bleus sont comme deux agates ;
\nIl les ferme \u00e0 demi, parfois, en reniflant,
\nSe renverse, ayant pris son museau dans ses pattes,
\nAvec des airs de tigre \u00e9tendu sur le flanc.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"parent":0,"template":"","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"default","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"default","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"set","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}}},"annee":[267],"poems-book":[819],"poemes-theme":[342,400],"poete":[736],"class_list":["post-15968","poemes","type-poemes","status-publish","hentry","annee-267","poems-book-les-musardises","poemes-theme-animaux","poemes-theme-chat","poete-edmond-rostand"],"yoast_head":"\n
