A black cat
A black cat hopped
A black cat hopped up the tree
A black cat hopped up the white tree
.
A Siamese
A Siamese bounced
A Siamese bounced up the willow
A Siamese bounced up the white willow
.
A white cat
A white cat leaped
A white cat leaped up the tree
A white cat leaped up the black tree
.
An albino
An albino jumped
An albino jumped up the oak
An albino jumped up the black oak
.
A patchwork cat
A patchwork cat clawed
A patchwork cat clawed up the bark
A patchwork cat clawed up the clear bark
.
Today a dog ate a Calico

Tyler, I have a black stately cat! I'm going to use your poem to help readers in the public schools as I am an educator.
I clicked on this one because I like cats and have four of them, plus the one from next door who prefers our house. The last line was a surprise, I just hope that dog stays away from my house, and away from my Calli, a cute little Calico. Earlier this year, I lost a 14 year old fluffy black and white cat to a local farmers dogs.

I like what you've done here. You think you know what to expect and then that last line comes like a kick in the guts. This a very refreshing piece.
