Eventually she’ll concede defeat.
Capitulating under my furry feet (just go with it, you know I don’t have thumbs).
Looking into my sparkling eyes,
impossible to resist my smile (yes, I know cats can’t really smile. Shut up).
Pretending she gave me a breakfast to eat (liar),
stupid human with brains of mincemeat (oops, sorry not sorry).
Eventually, I will get my treat (or she’ll get a five-claw sandwich).

Day 4 of Quitting
If this is how sobriety feels, maybe it’s better to go through life a little buzzed… this, along with other hits like, I want to kill myself, I wish I was dead, and I’m going to throw myself off a bridge have been the only thoughts on rotation these past few days. I promise myself that if, in a month, I still feel like this (‘this’ meaning despondent, full of rage, and simultaneously numb) I can go back to smoking. Until mid-February though? Nicotine is off the table.

Omg this made me laugh so hard! The commentary in the brackets, the imagery, all of it!
haha I love the commentaries in the brackets (they're funny) I talk to my cat like this, too. I'm pretty sure she understands and makes faces all the time.
Great aunty
I just loved it, I talk for my dogs all the time.She'll get a 5 claw sandwich. Absolutely entertaining. This made all the acrostics I have read worthwhile. ABSOLUTELY NICELY DONE - and if you really do have a kitty - give her a treat for me.
wonderful writing about cat,I love cats and all animals
🥹❤️
stupid human with brains of mincemeat (oops, sorry not sorry). Def my favorite line.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 The 'GAIL! LAWD have mercy! (But He won't 🤣🤣🤣)
Love your acrostic! Great entry!
LOL know this story well! Made me smile ;) C x
😁 Well done!
She's such a character, and it all comes through in your writing about her 😁
Haha oh no. This brought a smile to my face! You must be so proud her writing is improving though, Cathy! 😁
Love it!! :) Hilarious and so clever (great use of parentheses, too!)
I always love a great Abigail poem! She's especially sassy in this one 🤣 Love it! I agree with Lamar -- she needs her own vocal account 😍
Agree with Lamar here. That fat cat is gonna rule the world. Making us all her treat makers.
😅🤩 So funny. Abigail needs her own profile. She may have no thumbs but she can write her ass off!!! Lol.
Totally within her rights...
It is perfect for me
Haha! This made me smile!🫶
Omgggg just a few hours back I was thinking about knuckle sandwich and how it's been so long since I've heard anyone use it. I loved Abigail's modified version of it hehehehhee. I enjoyed her Acrostic so much!
Hahah!! This was so cute!! I love it and with three of my own cats, this was a little too relatable!! That being said, I dare argue that cat's do smile! 😉
Great take on the challenge and it's Abigail
This is a five star hoot, Cathy! Five claw sandwich is pure comic genius!
