! I NO LONGER HAVE THIS DEAR PET. I NOW HAVE A BLACK CAT NAMED RAZZMATAZZ!

(a swap quatrain rhyme)

She likes to nip; she likes to lick.
My foot might get a little prick.
I’ll see it’s her. That little pip!
She likes to lick. She likes to nip.

Attacking me with small cat teeth,
she comes at me from underneath.
She bites my toes so sneakily
with small cat teeth, attacking me!

In her small mind, it’s just a game,
but I don’t like it all the same!
To nip and run, my cat’s inclined.
It’s just a game in her small mind.

A paper scrap she’ll start to shred.
And when I wish that she, instead,
would come and sit upon my lap,
she’ll start to shred a paper scrap! 

In moments sweet, she licks my hand.
Those times are fleeting and unplanned,
but for her mistress, they’re a treat.
She licks my hand in moments sweet.

She gives a lick.  She gives a nip;
I’d rather feel her small tongue’s tip
upon my skin than one small snick.
She gives a nip; she gives a lick.

This is a real cool poem, we used to have a cat that did similar and had the nasty habit of jumping off the fence onto our heads in the dark! Congrats on your win

Andrea, We both love cats. Wally also bites, but much less than when he was younger. I loved the rhyming and I believe you captured Lilah's cat traits well. Congratulations on your winning poem! Barbara
