There’s a space between
the inner part of the
shower curtain
and the outer part,
where the lip of the tub
comes up and there’s a ledge
that’s big enough
for the cat to lie on.
She lays there sometimes
when I shower.
Seems kind of odd,
but I also kind of like
the company,
so I let her stay there.
She’s a good friend.

What does ‘kind of’ mean?
You use it in two concurrent lines.

I am quite charmed by this poem. I can relate to the description of the tub and shower curtain and the cat sitting on it.

A true companion. I’d say she despises both republicans and democrats.
