feral fantasies
she’d be easy to off
she’s not a mouth breather
I could do it tonight
but i guess I should keep her
she seems nice enough
mostly leaves me alone
even feeds me wet food
spends hours on the phone
I don’t miss the streets
‘specially when it rains
have a soft place to sleep
I shouldn’t complain, though
she’d be easy to off
I’d just lay on her face
til her lips turn pale blue
slip away with no trace
but sadly I’m spoiled
I’ve grown lazy and fat
she’s devious, that one
crazy old broad with cats

A second take on today’s prompt. Couldn’t resist.

Easy to off. Those fantasies… getting too humanlike methinks. Be very afraid. Lovely write.

Haha. That was the most hilarious thing I read this morning. I might tackle a poem in Cat’s voice one day soon. You’re amazing. I’m glad your cat let you live to let you write that poem. Thanks. 🙏

He was my spirit cat. Lived to be 24 year’s old. Whenever he sat on my chest staring down at me I would always ask him, “what’re you thinking Yoda?” 🥰

My dear Sebastian! He lived 24 years. Quite long in the tooth for a cat. I miss him sometimes. He was never far from me. 💚

Oh yes, Peter, Sebastian was certainly a vocal, opinionated character. And such presence. You noticed when he walked into a room. 🥰
