Notes About The Poem

''The Cat Is Mad'' As a Hornet

I brush my cat for five minutes daily,
But she just wiggles and struggles and swats;
All I want is to enhance her beauty,
All I need is to get rid of those knots.

Oh darn the shedding, mating and hairballs,
She is very angry with me for hours;
I try to hold her but away she crawls,
I tempt her with treats but she looks so sour.

So I decided to give her a short cut,
Oh so baleful and upset and angry;
Now she is a lion on my blanket,
She sure looked mad as a hornet to me.

Staring with those eyes saying I bite,
Oh poor kitty you do look quite a sight!

Hugs, Sandra Constance La France October 25, 2015 at 9:54 AM Hi Sandra, the cat in the image looks like my cat except my cat has all her fur intact ~

Constance La France October 25, 2015 at 4:24 AM This is fiction of course, I would never do that to my beautiful fluffy gray cat ~ Constance La France October 25, 2015 at 4:24 AM called Snuggles
