The Predator Waits

She is scooted back into ebony shadows There is no twitching or movement whatsoever. She waits patiently. Loud laughter of the two-legged ones annoys her. She closes her eyes, so she is not discovered. All she needs is some rescuer dragging her out of her comfort zone. Her wait is not long. A streak across the concrete She reaches out her paw. Dinner!

Your description is so typical of every cat I ever owned. A mind of their own!

I can certainly picture this. I have a cat who likes to hunt anything that moves (bugs, moths, lizards) and last night trapped a frog in my office. He whined and whined when we took it away from him. I enjoyed your poem, Caren! Blessings, Kim M
