The hairs on her back stood up, A sound escaped her throat; A warning to her enemy, An expression to emote. Her ears flattened to her head, Her eyes were needle thin; A paw was raised in readiness, You could hear the drop of a pin. A flinch and then a pounce, Quick as a lightning flash; A growl, a hiss, extended claws, She swiped with a vehement slash. Kicking, biting, a yowl or two, They broke apart, fell silent; Never have I witnessed, Such playfulness so violent!

A applaud you, your words are so eloquent and well placed. Do you have any poetry books out that I might purchase. Wonderfully phrased, as if you were just commenting on a common occurrence. 👏👏👏👏😊

Thank you.! I appreciate that. I am working on putting together a collection of poems and short stories. It’s not quite ready yet though. I just have a couple of works of fiction available at the moment.

Haha. Oh, they are very entertaining. She only plays that way with my other cat, not with me.
