Flurry of feathers
Caw…caw…ca…

The lousy cat is extremely rude
I never thought I'd be cat food!.
I'm big and black, a stately bird
Now I'm just an old cat ----------Www@QuestionHome@Com

Change 'ever' the predator to
Enter the predator!.!.!.I think it would help the sense here!.

and instead of 'your' ophthalmologist
put
its or his - because otherwise it sounds as if we ought to have made an appointment!.

Is he dead!?
Outside broadcast, straight from the pavement to our homes!.
Can't get quicker than that!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yes, their patience and stillness is amazing!!
I own no cats, many strays pass through the woods on to my yard, they lay at the edge of the pond a waiting birds to drink,
under my car for the chip monks to appear, at the edge of the woods for maybe a mouse!? They do a lot of waiting to spring!Www@QuestionHome@Com

I like it!. My female cat brings me live birds!. I tickle her and she drops them!. I've saved many birds this way!. My other cat will kill them on the spot though because he used to be a stray and lived off the land so to speak!. Cookie just thinks they are play things!. Very nice and descriptive!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yeah, my cat hides behind coats on racks and chairs and ambushes people as they walk by!. We can still see his feet and butt sitting down, but he doesn't seem to know that!.

Great poem, by the way!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
