Kitty Antics

A familiar scene to all cat owners!

Kitty Antics

He comes in from the sleet

and rain and stands

while I towel dry him

And when he’s had enough of that

he lets me know,

his claws hungering for scratch.

Then he throws himself

on kitchen tiles. Fridge magnet

sprawl in front of target.

I shake nuggets into his bowl,

but he’s holding out

for something better.

I stroke his chin and tell him

what a fine fellow he is!

He purrs up at this

But when I walk away he knows

The game’s up. And from the other room
I hear the sound of feline crunch.
