pretty kitty

as soon as we could walk
they began to teach us
how to pussyfoot how to
watch our step how to stay
out of the way of those
who are more important

I may walk on paws with
retracted claws but this
cat knows how to slink and
strut past trumped up barriers
and I can wake my claws from
their catnap anytime I want
