Catzzzzzzz.
Cats eat up affection straight from the cradle.
Whisker-faced wizards, they hate discipline
And set forth every day, being cleverly able
To become our jailors they by nature begin.
Yet like them we do.
With mournful miouws, implore eye to eye
When meeting no smile my kitty then noses
with intent at legs and will brook no denial
As by pupil-wide slyness she licks my toes.
Yet love them we do.
Designed to break hearts but still hold sway.
Furry dictators come in all shapes and sizes
Yet have what it takes to get their own way
With a quiet-cat attitude their best disguise.
Yet prize them we do.
Fraught with me-ism favoured purrs rationed
Her whim reveals my kitty's thought patterns.
Yet need them we do.

Superior beings every last one of them. Some people hate them for that. I adore cats and I adore dogs too I hasten to add.
You've captured some typically cat and kitten characteristics here. But where is the shock pain of a kitten climbing up my trouser leg as i open a can of cat food?
Oh to be as lithe as a cat and as luxuriantly lazy as a cat at rest too. Definitely one of the top life forms on the planet.
Good write Fay.
At the risk of repeating myself - whilst I do not dislike cats even if they do look down on man I do rail against their owners who are too lazy to take them for walks and instead allow them to wander free wreaking havoc with wild life and in other peoples gardens. If responsible cat breeders can exercise their charges without setting them free then why can't other cat owners? Dog owners would never get away with it.
Rant over - another fine write Fay.
Cats - Too mysterious to comprehend. From Lions and Tigers to household pets, they remain aloof and powerful.
Your poem captures their station in life and our response to it brilliantly. Loved it.- Phil A.

Although t is a wonderful write Fay the arrogance of cats is so powerful.
But as a bird watcher I always refer to the nastiness of cats as for every bird a raptor takes for food a cat will take four hundred to play with!! As Michael has said - they need controlling by their owners.
