Notes About The Poem

Written July 12 2026 for the Ode to Cat 2 contest sponsored by

Unica Hija

Ode To Cat Two

Ode to my neighbor’s horrible cat
Disgusting behavior that little turd
Emphatically speaking I say that

Teary eyed for he killed my bird
One understands it is nature’s way

Couldn’t have let my parakeet live
All I could do was purple pray
That a dog will give him his

Teedee was our bird’s nickname
What a horrible death in vain
Ode to a crazy cat insane

Gershon Wolf July 12, 2026 at 9:40 PM And today, people can't get enough of 'Mother Nature,' can they?... Ever see a cat eat a rabbit alive? Grisly little piece of surgery that happens all the time... Here's to animals in forests and people in towns. ~ gw Karen Jones July 12, 2026 at 10:19 PM No I’ve never seen that and I don’t want to lol.

Victor Buhagiar July 12, 2026 at 9:04 AM I think it was in Como, Italy that I saw a cat catch a pigeon. The stronger always win. Karen Jones July 12, 2026 at 9:31 AM :0( I suppose so.

Deb M July 12, 2026 at 5:51 AM Oh how sad that cat it killed your bird Karen! Debx Karen Jones July 12, 2026 at 7:10 AM Yes. It snuck into my apartment door when I was carrying groceries. I didn’t even know it was in my house because it hid. Then I put up groceries and left to run errands. I came back to feathers all over my den and had to hunt for Teedee’s body all battered. :0( I don’t like cats. Kittens are fine but cats nope
