A Villanelle for Abigail
Just for the fun of it.
She can be as good as gold.
Abigail, my cheeky cat.
She’s a bit of an asshole.
*
Rarely do I have to scold.
She can be quite sweet, in fact.
She can be as good as gold.
*
When laundry’s fresh I neatly fold.
Then on clean clothes her butt is sat.
She’s a bit of an asshole.
*
When I’m down, she’ll try to console.
And on my cheek, her paw she’ll pat.
She can be as good as gold.
*
She’ll run like hell and stop up cold,
to knock me down on my face, flat.
She’s a bit of an asshole.
*
She’ll purr a while, then bite a hole.
One second angel, next second brat.
She can be as good as gold.
She’s a bit of an asshole.

I agree with L.C. Would give other cats a run for their money!
Ahh, she is the cattest cat!
The true nature of felinekind.
She looks lovely and also mischievous. Nice poem.
“Then on clean clothes her butt is sat.” That line is so relatable to pet owners!
Oo ooo. I know your next piece, for Whodunit. It was nice knowing you Cathy I just don’t know yet how Abigail is going to pin your demise in someone else and get away with it. 🤣 Love your Villanelle 🥰
😆☺️👍 thanks for sharing your cat with us in villanelle Cathy!
This was such a fun and uplifting piece Cathy! I'd be surprised if there were any cat owners who didn't get a good chuckle after reading this.. thank you for sharing!
Abigail sounds almost exactly like my neighbors cat.
Abigail never fails to entertain us. I guess they are just like us, the two faces of Eve. Sweet/Devil. Hugs to Abigail, I mean, she gets her own villanelle.
As good as gold and still an Ass…..you nailed our cat perfectly. A great laugh after holiday craziness
Oh, I love that cute little asshole face 🤣 Your Abigail poems are always so charming! Wonderful job, my friend 🤗
Great Job Cathy, Cheecky to borrow a word and fun. Reading all these stories about Abigail have drawn me to the conclusion she is a wonderful cat
Cleverly done... accurate depiction of 'nice' cats... sweet & comforting & in the next instant... naughty and dangerous! (Spoken by a dog lover!) Abigail looks full of life!
What a sweet little golden asshole! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I suddenly remembered when she kept making noise to be let out but when you opened the door, she walked away in the opposite direction! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂 Great job Cathy!
It had to be, excellent work and congratulations on your forthcoming Top Story

😂 😂 😂 Abigail! She totally deserved a villanelle! Love it! My kid-in-a-hair-suit puts her ass on my clean clothes too. So gross given her bathroom habits- no tp and all... 😂 perfect tribute!
