That Cat When I look into your eyes, I marvel at your gaze How those buggy little peepers leave me bewildered in a daze You seem to know just what you want And how to get it every time You move me to a spot where I’ve another hill to climb. What drives those cunning eyeballs, what mystery lies in wait? One of us is cornered, one knows the other’s fate To the victor go the spoils The vanquished gets the crumbs Those daunting eyes keep telling me Give in you will succumb. But I’m the master of my fate, the captain of my soul I’m steeped in human logic, you’re a furry little troll You haven’t got a chance Against the power of my brain So why do you still look at me As if I’ve gone insane? There’s a chief executive for everything that’s all that you require I call the shots and you my friend are in my line of fire She replied with deadly silence Not a purr from her was heard Just a wiggle of her tail Like she was flipping me the bird. With that I lunged and found myself laying flat upon the floor I tore my shirt and whacked my nose and other parts were sore Where was that furry little cat How could she move so fast? High overhead I swore she said I think you’ve been miscast. Meow.

Cutely creative. I would say that she was not only feline, she was feminine. Those eyes will get you every time� Splat (more likely when watching pigeons or seagulls flying overhead for a bit of bread).

Some people say man is the most dangerous animal on the planet. Obviously those people have never met an angry cat.
