Flattened



we frolic about

madcap cats
jumping for joy
and then
we trap ourselves

frantically
trying to escape
we destroy
the box
our joy is no more

a cat can never resist
an empty cardboard box
and the box
well the box lies in wait
death by pouncing and prancing
is its destiny

    Help the cat. Put a flap in.

    Once walked past a box that our then cat was sitting in. It leapt, spread-eagled (spread-moggy?) straight up in the air, higher than the box and landed back in the box, in a fit.

    Not surprising really....Just means the cat was overly pleased to see you ! :)

      Are you telling me you don't behave like that when you get a surprise visit from someone you like?:)

      Not QUITE so exuberantly, I must confess.
