Mike Gentile Poet Personification

If I Had a Hairball

If I had a hairball
It would be no wonder
Since I lick and lick and lick all day

All day long, I’m lickin’ on my paws
I am in a hairy way!

If I had a hairball
I would gag and cough
And gag and cough and gag and cough some more 

You all know the lovely sounds I make 
Leaving you a present on the floor!

Indiana Shaw September 10, 2021 at 7:18 PM Mike, this is a purrfect take on a puking cat . . . : ) Mike Gentile November 29, 2021 at 10:58 AM Thank so much Indiana!!

Sara Kendrick July 6, 2021 at 5:28 AM Well, I have heard about cats that do that but have never experienced it. I don't think it would be very pleasant. I think there is something that one can purchase to help keep that from happening to the cat. Enjoyed reading your work. Sara Mike Gentile September 7, 2021 at 2:29 PM Thanks so much Sara!!

Leo Larry Amadore June 11, 2021 at 12:58 PM ....As spoken by an attentive and concerned cat! You have captured well the occasional rather distressing (to us humans) expelling of our feline favorites' occasional ingested loose fur accumulations, as well as the somewhat upsetting noises that accompany the process. Good job. Mike Gentile June 12, 2021 at 6:12 AM Thanks so much! I appreciate your well written interpretation!!
