Ha, ha! Some people have told me, 'You're a big rat, Wolf!' Now I know why -- I'm scurrying from your feral cat too... Nicely done, Valsa. ~ On the Move..

Hello Valsa, I like the color of the eyes. I have never seen a feral cat. Hugs.

Might try it if I spot a mouse. Fortunately up to now I only saw one in my lifetime. Lovely poem though.

I see the cat--I see the rats---images well invoked in this descriptive write. Succinct-- well done!
