Smokie – Mighty Hunter or Marshmallow Cloud

I’m Smokie; I’m a hunter!

You will not see my like.

I follow my prey to the ends of the Earth;

Unless its a bit of a hike.

My best move is to stay very still,

And ambush things that pass.

But I get bored quite quickly,

If things don’t happen fast.

My sister caught a mouse last week.

She trapped it in a shoe.

The humans took it outside then.

What did you think they’d do?

I need a mousie of my own!

To prove that I’m still king!

To stop the girl cats laughing,

and calling ‘Lazy Thing!’

I found a hole in the dog food bag,

Behind an oft closed door;

So I know the mousies’ been here!

Perhaps they’ll come once more!

Yesterday I caught a mousie,

And proved I was the best!

From inside my mouth he ran away!

Why?  I can not guess!

But I caught him!  That’s the point I say!

But Pixie disagrees!

‘Unless the humans get the mouse,

I still get to tease!’

‘So you must catch the mouse and hold him,

Till they take the mouse away.’

I know he’s coming back again!

I’ll just wait here all day!

  1. your poem is the cutest thing that i have read today
    (depending on the time zone) for what alex had to say*
    within 4 minutes i was here, i tell you luck it was
    to read about your four-legged and lazy ball of fuzz!

    (i think its been 24 hours, though with the time difference its tricky to say for sure.)

    1. I’m really very proud to say,
      I’ve inspired a poet again, today.
      You’ve composed so fast
      You’re verse’s a blast.
      And I didn’t have to pay!

      1. if youre instigating a peep,
        out of me then im very cheap,
        for that i will barter your nigh-oldest daughter
        although that might make it more steep!

  2. What a delightful poem! The photos of Smokie show one serious kitty, too. What a beautiful cat!

    1. Actually he’s the gentlest cat we’ve ever owned. He’s just determined, briefly.

  3. Smokie – We agree that you caught the mouse. It’s not your fault the humans were too slow. Snoops and Kommando Kitty

    1. Thank you, too true! I mean if I’d held too tight Mousie might have been hurt. I am making those girl cats read your reply!

  4. […] away, renal failure after a kidney blockage; it was fast, bloody and completely unexpected.  My marshmallow cloud.  The vet gave him a pain killer while we waited for tests, the results were dire.  No real […]
