My Cat, Dee Dee

Her ears point forward to a sound she hears. A sound beyond a pitch to my ears. Her legs now crouch to attend the fears Of the twitching nose that scours the airs. She runs like a bullet shot from a gun. I'm following behind on the run. She corners and traps her small bale, While I stoop and lift it by the tail. Don't worry. I set it free.

Cats are such interesting creatures. Dee Dee is a cute name for a cat. I can visualize the whole scene, she keenly listening to a sound and her preying instincts, revived. In the hope of catching a prey, she runs like a bullet. Beautifully written in flowing rhyme dear Hilda.

Dee Dee is over 10 years old now. I think she is starting to slow down. She does hunt in early morning but stays home in late afternoon through night. Thanks for the comment.

This is delightful, Hilda. I have a cat and can relate. Dee Dee is an adorable name for a cat. My cat's name is Callie.

I see that Dee-dee is faster than a speeding bullet. Is she more powerful than a locomotive too?! Whoa...

She is more stubborn than a bucking bull.

So descriptive and cute how you’ve written about your cat, and the ending is brilliant! I love the line “ Her ears point forward to a sound she hears.“ i can almost see your cat doing that. And beautiful rhymes i must say! Love this

I love animals. I've raised this cat more like a dog. She understands a lot of English. I'm glad you liked the poem.
