The Meerkat

There is a strange animal in our zoo called a meerkat
That makes me laugh every time I look at
Although “kat” is in its name
It’s no feline just the same
So you can say the meerkat is no mere cat.

Interesting Limerick that you have penned..I have a picture of a Meerkat family and in the middle is a cat that is in the same color family as the meercats..That cat is standing on its hind legs just like them and it blends right in as if it is one of the meercat family...Keep the creative pen flowing...Sara
