Cat Alarm





When I say I'm an early riser
I don't mean this early
for  I've been listening to Kitty overhead
kneading the carpet upstairs with gusto,
I will meet half of its wool fibres
in the stairwell later in the day,
and despite rolling over on my side
he has now moved on to scratching 
the newly painted sitting room door
adding white claw polish 
to the satin gloss highlights 
he acquired yesterday
when I was painting it-

when  I say I like rising early
I don't mean on this type of day.

    1. Yesterday he jumped through neighbour's open car window, driver's side, and landed on the dash board. She was in situ and got quite a fright!!
