Just A Cat?



Cats, in these eyes, are amusing, mystical,
powerful, intuitive....
felines; fur-trimmed commas,
question marks, exclamation points.


Guardians, hunters, friends, listeners...
affectionate, mischievous flashes of light
cavorting with paper,
with foil, with life.


Painful potential, yet paws so gentle;
like a feather, a dancer,
a bubble in flight.
A miniature lion, a cheetah, a cub...
regal in repose, intensity in motion.


A cat, curled around your feet at night,
becomes a silent thief of stress.
Eyes so expressive...
emeralds, sapphires, topaz, quartz;
sparkling, searching, imparting, sharing


Mutual respect.
A cat just a cat? I think not!
