Pretty kitty
Leopardus pardalis
Cutest cat I've ever seen.
I mean, look at those eyes.
Hazel orbs almost obscene.
Calm demeanour that belies
The hunter-killer nature.
Velvety coat, like
Your leopard cousin's attire.
My desire, to caress
Your warm soft coat entire,
Carnivore supreme.

Violence Begets
"Any last words, cowboy?" "None you'd understand, sodbuster." "Funny. That's Marshall Sodbuster to you. But I meant some last nugget that would help us in the adjudication of the myriad offenses counted against you and your gang. I wasn't asking for penitence."

Omgggg he's soooo adorable! I wanna hug him! 😍😍😍😍😍😍
If looks can deceive this cat is doing the right thing. The cat is cute though. Good work.
Goodness..how true these lines are!! "Calm demeanour that belies The hunter-killer nature." Kitties can seem so sweet and innocent, but they are not. Lovely, playful poem!!
