Ode To Max

Felis Maximus - Oh so male with fiery fur, And sometimes with a matching temper, You show cuteness that deceives Those humankind who fail to please. For one misguided fool who dares Invade your realm unawares Will likely meet with warning hiss, And not some softly planted kiss - A hiss indeed, and sharpened claws Delivered by two well aimed paws. But if, perchance, your trust is won, The truest friendship has begun. We few are blessed, who have your trust, And love you, Felis Maximus. June 2015 For my friends' cat
