Catamorphosis

Cat house rules.

King Fabian & Queen Ella

Cat hair here, Cat hair there

OMG, it’s everywhere.

In the air, on my clothes,

hairball vomit on my toes.

On the carpet, and the rugs,

on the walls, cat fur’s stuck,

in my mouth, on the bed,

under the couch, and on my head.

•

Floating fuzzies for the sport,

“Cat Eyes” stare, meow, hold court.

King and Queen, quite debonaire,

mass-producing feline hair.

Grab the vac, unclog the brush,

empty the bag, the toilet flush.

Surrender angst, you’ve lost the fight,

cat fluff reigns, accept your plight.

•

In the mirror,

I’ve grown whiskers

claws need clippers,

a long tail flickers.

I’m cat food tasting,

litter box wasting,

dropping cat stink,

like a spotted lynx.

I dream of a mouse,

under the house.

then sleep all day,

and all-night prey,

•

Fabian laughed, Ella Jane roared,

“Hair’s for you to be transformed.

Our magic threads, like pixie dust,

Morphed your shape to be like us.”

Felines rule, canines drool,

Time to stop, playing the fool.

Just submit, you’ve been changed,

Your DNA, rearranged.

•

Cat hair here, Cat hair there,

Beware, my friends. It’s everywhere.

Meow, meow, meow.

Spffft!

Hisssssssss!

Purrrrrrrrrrr!

Mee....owwww!
