The dark. The cool. The shade.

It’s late.

I’m alone.

Footsteps ahead.
I hide. Crouching silently. Waiting patiently.
Twigs crack. Birds squawk. Eyes narrow.

I watch. I stare.
It’s now. Or never.
I stretch. I pounce. I reach. I flex. I grab.


I miss.

Next time. I’ll feed.

I’m hungry.

  1. Fantastic. You know cat talk, well.
    BTW, wonderful cat. Does s/he have a name? Age? Phone number? Email? Temporary significant other? Weight? Special Skills?
    Forgive me for my over-exuberance. I just like to know… My name is Lady Gaga and I’m TWO colors, tan/brown and black.
    Excuse me for asking, but doesn’t your human feed you? Why must you hunt for scrap? Is he a cheapskate? Forgetful? Too busy for you? Are you happy?
    So you have a resume? =^.^= Mind if I speak my mind. Well, I will anyway. I think you’re the cat’s M.e.o.w. Big Boy. Maybe you’d like to come over to see me sometime? =^*.^=
