Prowling through the grass,
Footsteps so soft and light,
Hurrying, like the hunter,
A tiger of the night,
Grooming, in the bedroom,
Fur so soft and glowing,
Your perfect smiling face,
So sinister and knowing,
Bathing in the sunlight,
Rolling with content,
Your whiskers twitch so gracefully,
Surely heaven sent,
Staring at me,
Your yellow eyes are glowing,
Shining like the moon,
So beautiful, yet knowing,
Sleeping, so silent and dreamy,
Your purrs show grace,
The gentle swish of your tail,
Shows the happiness of your face,
Prowling, softly padding,
Your eyes burning so bright,
Your head lowered, so sinister,
You prowl against the night,
Your sleek figure,
Slinking out of the door,
Your gestures so feline,
As you roll your back on the floor,
Sitting, alone in the rain,
Hungry, pitiful and cold,
I open the door for you, cat,
As I pick you up to hold,
Grooming, once more,
So elegant, so vain,
You wash and preen to perfect yourself,
From sitting out in the rain,
Watching, night birds fly away,
Into the dead of night,
You follow with your eyes,
Nothing misses your sensitive sight,
Burning, are your yellow eyes,
Once again so bright,
They dart away from me,
As you vanish into the night…

Loved it
Ha Ha Ha! Another of you. Cat lover. Cat watcher. You know cats talk... You've watched your feline and followed the mysterious, eratic and confligratious thots. Dragons are my first love; cats number two. Loved it.
