I brush my cat for five minutes daily, But she just wiggles and struggles and swats; All I want is to enhance her beauty, All I need is to get rid of those knots. Oh darn the shedding, mating and hairballs, She is very angry with me for hours; I try to hold her but away she crawls, I tempt her with treats but she looks so sour. So I decided to give her a short cut, Oh so baleful and upset and angry; Now she is a lion on my blanket, She sure looked mad as a hornet to me. Staring with those eyes saying I bite, Oh poor kitty you do look quite a sight! __________________ October 24, 2015 Poetry/English Sonnet/"The Cat Is Mad" as a Hornet Copyright Protected, ID 15- 720-797-0 All Rights Reserved.

Hi Sandra, the cat in the image looks like my cat except my cat has all her fur intact ~

This is fiction of course, I would never do that to my beautiful fluffy gray cat ~
