Frightened Cat

A poem about a scared cat.

Image via Wikipedia

I heard a strange and scary noise,

coming from inside the closet.

I opened the door to peek inside,

discovered my solid black cat.

His soft fur was wet and matted,

he was shivering in fright.

I offered him a kitty treat,

but he cowered further away.

Suddenly he let out a piercing wail,

just as I gently patted his head.

I lifted him up off the floor,

carried him into my bedroom.

That night he slept on my bed,

snuggled deep beneath the covers.

I wonder why he was in such a state. Nice work.

My Oisin always opened cubboards. He was very curious.

That is scary when a cat is scared.

Great poem! I think I would have been scared at first knowing that something was in my closet only to find out that it was a cat. You had a cat out of nowhere experience. LOL!
