Kitty's Call of Nature

The little kitten pawed at the ground Dug out the earth The way its mama taught it Then it squatted And as though recalling something Looked around To ensure no eyes were watching Its eyes met mine- His, cowrie shaped and green Mine, big, brown and curious- And wide eyed Perhaps horrified It jumped away And went round The far corner of the house.

How delightful. I felt I saw this Kitty myself through your clever rhyme. Thanks for sharing this Kitty so shy in its Call to Nature. I'm newly on-line and just joined poetrysoup. Yours was the 1st poem I read and I'm glad I found and joined this site, thanks to you & your Kitty.
