Awake

A soft face tickle

Whispered breath sounds in my ear

A precious alarm

Kitty's face in mine - so dear

Eager to be fed - that's clear

Of course, if someone’s already fed kitty, that whole experience is less savoury. Crab n pilchard breath... yuk. Congratulations on a deserved win, Kim. Terry
