It is frightening how my sweet, cuddly cat can change, Into a sinister and menacing hunter intent on stalking her prey; She loves the garden and always lays beneath cool leaves, But is just waiting, watching, and planning a bloody kill. And from her hiding place she comes creeping, creeping, Slithering, edging up inch by inch, skulking some little animal; Teeth chattering and emitting a deadly rattling eerie sound, Her eyes a fixed stare and her body intense and tensed. This snuggly pet of mine is a predator with true speed, Hiding, stalking, pouncing and chasing learned with her toys; She likes to prolong the event and thus the creeping, And then, she leaps and it is very scary for a moment. But the tickle of her bell, alerts the bird to fly far away, And the mouse to slip into it's hole again safe and sound; Then with a meow and sweet purr, she comes creeping, Creeping home, happily without a dead thing in her mouth. __________________________ October 11, 2015 Poetry/Verse/My Creepy Cat Copyright Protected, ID 15-716-307-0 All Rights Reserved.

It's amazing to see their primal nature take over when they stalk their prey. I think the bell around her neck was a good idea! I enjoyed your poem, Constance! Congrats on your win! Love, Kim

well, I am glad she has no dead things in her mouth! I know exactly that weird rattling sound you speak of. One of my cats did it very strongly just sitting at the window watching birds. I have yet to see any of my cats actually take a mouse or some other small creature and eat it. Maybe we bred that instinct out of them by giving them so much loving. Great idea this poem was for the creepy contest.
