A difficult time looms for cats like me
Bearing in mind the progress we have made
Cats have been hated or loved through the years
Domesticating humans has been hard
Even plagues spread by rats spread hate for us
Failures to see irony are common
Geniuses among you still take part in
Helmet entailing diversions and sports
If you valued your brains, you would wise up
Joking aside, Halloween approaches
Keep in mind that this is a special time
Looking intently at things you can’t see
Might seem foolish or strike you as mundane
Never mistake for meaningless those things
Of which you have no understanding
Peering at things invisible to you
Quietly shows how little you can see
Rest assured, there are monsters everywhere
Scanning for serious threats is our job
Think about the meaning of familiar
Under your noses, we’re minding the store
Vicious threats can be warded off by eyes
Wary and cunning enough to spot them
Xenobiology is all cats’ field
You ought to be grateful for our watching
Zip your lips when we see something coming

“Rest assured, there are monsters everywhere” haha!! This is so funny and entertaining! Well done, D.J.!
This is great. And seriously, how many times have they freaked me out when they're staring, wide-eyed, at "nothing."
well written, filled with talent
Oh what would we do without cats, hehehehe. Loved this!
