Excellent

Happy New Year! It's a great Nonet with one of my favorite animals too! Cats, if treated right, will definitely adopt a human that goes out of their way to make sure they have a safe place to live. It usually only takes water, food and cuddles!

thanks slightly revised to fit the required syllables

Many years ago when I was young
Wearing a younger person's clothes
I met a special animal,
I called the cosmic cat
He was just cosmic,
Became my friend,
Adopted me
As cats
Do.

Take a look again because you have two lines with eight syllables and then two lines with four syllables. You'll want to edit itagain.

Excellent

The idea of the cat "adopting" you, as cats do, is so charming. Your poem brings to life that special bond we often share with cats. What a really fun and memorable read. Keep it up!
