Cat Poems

The life of a cat is a dull one.

Wake up.

Stretch.

Patrol the house.

And then I sit.

Right outside of my owner’s door thinking, “where is the food?”

She comes out and I follow her.

I hear the ruffling of the bag;

The sound of the food hitting the bowl.

I dig in as if it is my last meal. I prance through the house.

I climb the curtains, when imp feeling devilish.

Sometimes scratch, any and everything.

And then I lay.

On the couch.

Window sill.

Bed.

Kitchen floor.

I take frequent naps.

And when I wake up,

I stretch.

I patrol the house.

And then I sit.

In the Words of My Cat

by Ali Carnevale

I am powerful and ferocious

I have caught every bird and lizard through      

 this window

All I have to do is glare and swat and all others            

collapse in fear

Don’t let my diamond bedazzled collar confuse           

you

It is the choker of a Warrior Princess

After I conquer all and protect my kingdom       

through this glass

I am rewarded with massages, feasts for a        

Queen, and words of endearment

I am adored by my servants and held in the      

highest respect

For my name is Pluff Mud… hear me purrrr!
