Cat with No Smell

the act of moving a mirror in my home can create a battle, one worthy of being fought by a knight... I am sure my cat was once a knight of ole

Patrolling the house from corner to corner
as all cats must do each dawning morn
what's this I spy, as I slowly walk by
could it be, somewhere in the night
a feline marauding intruder has gotten in
Going into stealth mood I get down low
fluff out my fur in combat mode
creeping up little by little, really slow
then up on my toes  like a dancer I go
so as not to be trounced or even pounced
side ways I skitter to get in very close
arching my back out of harms repose
hissing and wrinkling up my nose
now very fast I move in attack pose
putting on my brakes, something's amiss
this other cat has no smell of attack
he does not even fight back
even if he too in attack mode did go
rethinking my plan I swipe him with a paw
he strikes out and back, but I don't feel that
nose to nose now we go, I let out a whine
he still has no smell this cat with no yell
I growl and then stop, doing another hop
walk around the corner of the wall
he may be protected from our feline brawl
no he is not there, where can he be
I see him out front but not in the back with me
one more time i try to defend home and self
this cat with no smell is a real coward at best
walking away and down the hall with a twitch of tail
I have saved my Mistress for the victory was mine
from cat with no smell, must surely be a cat from hell
looking back once more I let out a blood curdling yell..

This is absolutely delightful! Cats are such amazing creatures and so much fun to watch... let alone interact with.

I have seen this same battle take place, when a cat I had came face to face with himself in a floor length mirror. He let out a blood curdling yell and launched himself into the mirror. That was one surprised cat! Jackie <> <

Fun read, Cheryl. (Funny how they repeat their games, playing the same one over and over with the same result, not realizing...)

You captured Cat, Cheryl. I've seen this same drama play out.
Best regards,
