Cat in Training

I am a Cat-in-Training
Acolyte to Felinedom:
My eyes glow with questions.
Deepest green beacons
Drawing Cat Wisdom
Unto themselves.
 

I am a Cat-in-Training
Acolyte to Felinedom:
Learning aloofness,
And nonchalance,
And how to growl
My displeasure.


  I am a Cat-in-Training
Acolyte to Felinedom:
Learning to be soft,
To curl in laps,
To share myself,
But on MY terms.
 

I am a Cat-in-Training
Acolyte to Felinedom:
So I walk the night
In beauty and grace,
And fear not
The deep darkness.
