9 Lives of the Cat

          9 Lives of the Cat
 
 
            1
She sits quietly,
her eyes closed.
She does not need to see
to know she is
queen.
 
            2
A hunter,
silent,
waiting,
always
ready
to strike.

I wake up surrounded by fluffy white.
A blizzard in my room?
No,
the fluff is warm.
...
WHO LET IN THE KITTENS?
 
            4
We search for answers,
We search for truth,
We search for happiness...
Why not ask the cat?
 
            5
A hurricane has destroyed my house.
Papers shredded,
books on the floor,
I can not find my shoe.
All because of
Hurricane Cat!

Meow.
            What does that mean?
Meow.
            What do you want?
Meow!
            I already gave you breakfast!
MEOW!
            May I pet you?
Purrrrrr...
 
            7
A dog chases a ball.
A cat watches and laughs.

The tiger
hides,
waiting for his prey.
The lion
plans,
his prey in the trap.
The cheetah
runs,
his prey not fast enough.
Our cat
purrs.
His prey is given to him.

There is no sadness
              no fear
              no worry.
In her eyes,
I see only love.
