Much Like a Feline

Much like a feline 
Playful and curious
Raised hair, arched spine
Readily furious

But it’s short lived rage
Just stroke her behind
Too eager to play
Than be anger defined

She loves you, hard
But on her terms
Keep clear, her guard
Or go eat worms

Razor sharp claws
Kneading your flesh
Dramatic, squalls
Refuse to suppress

Direct attention
Immediate response
Always fishing
Don’t be caught

A good companion
For a workaholic 
A true love, stand in
A short term frolic

A fickle friend
Appalled by all
The breaking of wind
Or a clumsy fall

Much like a feline
With striking eyes
Beware of her kind
Before your soul dies

The sassy cat analogy fits this fast passed work of art well. You have fun with this piece from start to finish and it brings a smile to my day. Emile.

Very accurate descriptions and comparison. I pictured my kitty as I read and could very well see those same traits being applied to a woman. well wrote.
