my cat ginger, sly old bastard
purrs and fawns and fucks about
enticing me to play his play
he'll roll and jump on cuddly mouse
and other tragic toys around the house.
he'll nibble kibble in between and when I rest
he'll pounce unseen; sit on my head, then bat my face
with claws extended, zero grace, he'll rake my skin
and lacerate a cheek or jowl and then he'll grin
