Feline Fit and Fabulous

The cat's nature coaches her
you'll never see a cat acting like an ape
or waddling like a duck, a total disgrace
No cat's a slinking salamander
no cat's a stinking rat
Call a squirrel cute
What's cute about a rat
who does trees instead of sewers?

You'll never meet the cat
who wished was born a bat
Something weird are bats,
Mice who fly? Charles, kindly explain

No, my kitten. The lady is a pussy
who stalks and pounces
and kills without contrition
A smaller version of the bobcat
as deadly as a jaguar
All eyes and claws,
she gifts the planet with more litters
than humans could ever wish for, even artificial

Behold the high grass stalker
in the foreclosed jungle
across the street from my house
where I keep its nemesis, my doberman
nicknamed "Heinrich Himmler"
