I caught my cat “IM”ing on yahoo yesterday.
I’m not sure who she was talking to or what she had to say.
It looked like she had typed in code that only felines
could decipher when they saw her arcane designs.
As I approached she noticed me and rolled on her back.
I guess that she was overtaken by a nap attack.
I get the same way too, sitting until I feel brain-dead.
I’ve a built in alarm involving the keyboard and my head.
I’ll let it pass this time but I’m keeping it in mind..
in case it turns out she’s plotting the subjugation of mankind.
Author notes
In case you didn't catch it, the title is the "home row" on the keyboard - my cat's favorite stepping stones 
Of course this is humor only - we know that cat's already think they rule the world.

Having a sly cat myself, this one made me laugh. But then again, maybe it should be taken more seriously.
I enjoyed the rhyme and whimsical nature of your piece.

I loved this and it brought me quite a chuckle as my cats do the same. My favorite line, "in case it turns out she's plotting the subjucation of mankind." Don't know about you, but I'm already licked. Good luck.
