Lion Heart Meets Its Match

Pussy here owns the place! From the front window frames to the corners of the garage, the floors kiss his pillow paws in his slick sleepy parades. Between the gate and the ground where little light squeezes down to greet Lion-heart with the birth of day, an intruder crawled in today. Filled with the size of his name, forward his shoulders rolled like only a hunter may. But as he closed the space to face he who stole the sun, slower got his steady pace for light could breach again hitting the slender silhouette. His crown would not allow a second guessing of his step, the long curvy trespasser should have to slither back. The snake full bellied by larger a mammal blinked once and twice, but it gave no surrender sign. She had to analyze the insanity that made it try tower over her. And as the reptile's head lifted in the magic of its ways above the tall held cat she could distinguish sweat breaking behind its gaze, so she kissed its tiny nose in truce for she witnessed a lion's heart.
