A beguiling cat does everything for gain.
His innocently jaded, kindly, loving, mein -
not only prevarication,
quietly raising station,
trotting up, vexingly, while xeriscaping your zone.

Thanks Joseph. I was fun - quite a challenge to think of words which have to start with a certain letter.

Thanks Thriveni. I might've taken a wrong turn with this one, as I tried to make it rhyme and be a sensible story, but it started to fall apart a bit toward the end. Xeriscaping is very important here in California. We should be using native plants that thrive in our dry climate, but instead, people like their thirsty lawns.
