The Cat’s Meow .....

the cat meowed

content and proud

sitting in his lap

calico, mottled aglow

thigh-high boots

rustic roots

chalcedony cat's-eye

night owl prowl

scowl

taunt and tease

frisky whiskey

wispy whiskers

the cat meowed

the cat allowed

herself to be stripped

no collar

no rule of thumb

alacrity avidity

the cat meowed

she licks her chops

hunger

desire

to lacerate his attire

attracted, attached

puppy love

bond

bind

willingly unwind
