Can you hear my cries?
Cried Pandora the Cat
At the door of the little room
Where the tabby lay.
The tabby just appeared one day,
Intruding into a peaceful life
Where things were pretty much
The way Pandora wanted.
Pandora's voice was shrill
But she was somewhat careful
Not to disturb the mistress
Though she blamed the mistress.
The tabby just appeared one day,
Thanks to the mistress,
So stuck up and full of herself.
What did the mistress see in her?
Can you hear my cries?
Black Pandora cried again.
Tabby, whatever your name is,
Get outa my life.
Cry all you want,
The tabby murmured
Trying to be a good cat.
She curled in her basket and slept.

ahhh, cat sibling rivalry of the highest order,
one longing for the good old days of being the sole cat, the other just wanting to get along, to the food, the waterm the butterflies, and with the other cat, much like people who are envious of each otehr,great write.~~~Artis

No, I don't want to disqualify it, I enjoyed reading your poem, and I understood your story and where that poor cat was coming from.
To be shunned by an owner just to be replaced by another cat is pretty heart-breaking for that poor cat.
I liked it.
Have some faith in yourself my friend, you should be proud.
