and kills its brother's tail
which was tormenting him
tussling
growling
biting

the kitten's going to

who's top cat around this house
the kitten's tummy

kitty is hungry

the kitten eats
tummy full
the kitten tires

a long luxurious stretch

opens its little pink mouth

curls up into a
spine bending curl
practices its contortionism
by putting his head on
upsidedown
tail on tip of nose
the kitten purrs
content
to dream sweet kitty dreams
the kitten falls asleep
worn out from its
hard day

Dear Karla,

Thank you for this one.

awwwww, what a wonderful write. I just love kittens....even when they scratch your hand to pieces.
:) Sweet, Karla! My baby kitten is 8 mos. old now...he brings lizards and cockroaches into the house to play with!! He's still the baby of our 4 cats, though!
I love these writes on kittens as you may already know. By the way, You and your sister are so beautiful in so many more ways than just your writes and looks portray. :)

Kittens are so precious. We had four of them until I gave two away last week. :( We are keeping two and they are quite talented. They can use the copier and scanner. They know how to turn the computer off and they know how to send my poetry file to the recycle bin! Thankfully, I had a back-up disk. LOL...
Adorable write, Karla. I love kitties, so I always love your cat stories.
Have a great night.
