            you act so peculiar for a cat.

Why do you lie all spread out like that?

With your legs stretched out as far as you can,

You look like you could take off like superman.

 

Legs to the front

                and legs to the back,

Until something walks by for you to attack.

You either are batting the dog in the nose,

Or pouncing right on your people’s toes.

 

I've never seen a cat do that before.

All spread out

               flat on the floor.

But what really amazes me about you,

Is that you taught the dog to do it too.

This was awesome!! My dog does the same thing, cept for sometimes she has spazz attacks...

[Alyssa]

Well now thats completely charming I must say! I thoughtofmy own little terrors while reading this. Well done! Bravo!

[The Wandering Cactus]

I not sure if this is what you meant but you said "your people's toes". It is just a little confusing. Other than that I really enjoyed your poem. The ending is the best part. Your rhyme holds the poem together quite nicely. And the flow is good. Good job!

[Lauren Xena Campbell]

Aw, this is a wonderful tribute. Wonderfully written and funny. I couldn't stop smiling as I read, hooked on every word. My favourite line was the last, very amusing :-) Great write!

that, my friend, is an amazing cat. My dog only comes when we call, 'kitty', I guess he thinks he is one of the cats.
