Notes About The Poem

Written May 23 2023

Spade

Spade is the name of a cat
So frisky curious and black
He sneaks up on me
Making me scream 
Demanding a kitty snack

Hello Karen Jones, Your cat sounds cute. Be careful not to step on your cat. How old is your cat? Hugs. /Darlene/

I don’t own a cat. My former neighbor had a cat that ran into my house when I was carrying groceries. I didn’t see him and he killed my parakeet years ago.

My neighbor’s cat slipped in my house and killed my parakeet years ago. I was carrying heavy groceries and didn’t notice it was inside my house. I left and came back to feathers everywhere! :0(
