A Catastrophic Morning

Mommy woke me up today
Simply screaming off her head
She hurt my tender eardrums
Trying hard to wake the dead

I purred so very loudly
And I rubbed around her feet
But I do not think she heard me
She was purple as a beet

She could have raised the roof
If she had tried a little more
Yet gave no indication
What had sparked her raucous roar

I’m sure it’s just the way she shows
Her true and heartfelt glee
I know inside she’s really proud
And very pleased with me

I’d climbed into her closet
And I’d done what I do best
I’d had some lovely kittens
On her most expensive dress

Author notes

I can happily say this particular event has never happened to me. Similar things may have happened to my family, but not this exact thing.

    Purrrsonally, I loved it. Max said MEOWMEOEOWOEMW, Blaze said mew with thoughtful contemplation, Puss. N. Bootsky stretched out on his back, purred and stretched his paws, Gainspurrough purred with a gentle thoughtful demeanor, and Missy Ping, as ever, peaked out from under the bed. All said, in translation, that that was most certainly why she turned purple. "Look at that ugly dress, and look at those wonderful kittens? We all think she should have a double dose of catnip and give her cat some to celebrate the blessed event!"

    LOL, this was not what I was expecting - what a brilliant ending,

    "I’d climbed into her closet
    And I’d done what I do best
    I’d had some lovely kittens
    On her most expensive dress"

    I was laughing away to myself when I read it - brilliantly written, although the one thing I picked up on that didn't fit in, is that if the cat had just had kittens, it would most likely not be winding itself around anyone's ankles - but that's just me nitpicking

    Thanks for entering

    Very light-hearted meter and excellent rhyming move this most entertaining story to the surprise ending. Sometimes our pets and we 'owners' find different things praiseworthy when they happen inside our closets

    I am hating cats right now. We have 4 ... 2 of them are kittens we rescued from under an abandoned trailor. We have more than enough litter box but still it smells to high heaven. We clean them twice daily ... twice weekly they get emptied and scrubbed ... I want to let them out so coyotes or owls will get them.
