Shhhh
A silent Abigail acrostic
Shhhhh. Be very, very quiet.
I know you’re sleeping, but
lo and behold, it’s 3 a.m. and I am an
energetic and enigmatic ball of fur and magic toe beans.
Nibbling on fingers. Swatting at feet. Jumping round and round.
Chasing anything that dares to move beneath the blankets, until you, my pet, finally break the silence,
even if it is with bellowed words not safe for my tiny kitten ears.

As a cat person myself I always look forward to your stuff with cats in it.
I would expect no less from Abigail lols. But at least she's earning her keep by giving you good content to write about😁 Well done Abby--oh and you too Cathy 🤣🤣🤣
Delightful - "magic toe beans," indeed! Well done!
Absolutely gorgeous acrostic 😆… recently when our elderly cat was sleeping, she tended to sleep until 4:30 & then yell to wake us on the hour until we got up 🤣.
I’ve never had a cat, but this I can imagine🤣 “energetic and enigmatic ball of fur and magic toe beans.”- a good way of summing them up, and I like how the perspective of pet is shifted to us as the owner.
So sweet! ❤️
Excellent acrostic, Cathy! Congrats on top story!
SO glad Her Highness got in on the challenge. And she got a Top Story, too! This is just loaded with personality and charm! Well done, my friend!
Very charming Cathy! 😄 this was my fav line.. “energetic and enigmatic ball of fur and magic toe beans.” ☺️ 👍

If cats could write, they would do it this way. Nice work!
