squirrel

heard a squirrel
tearing a piece of fabric
my neighbor put
around her balcony

the neighbor said: "shoo!"
and the squirrel ran away

he must be cold
I'd lend him one
of my polar blankets
if I didn't need them so...

bottom of bowl

this morning I saw
the bottom of my bowl
scarce kibbles
make me insecure

I tried to wake up the two-legged female
then the two-legged male
I walked on them
talked to them
jumped on them
hit them with my tail
they both groaned
but didn't wake up

what if they don't wake up
and I never eat again?
in a panic I decide
to save my last kibbles

My resolve was firm
when the female woke up
and finally filled
my bowl

another cat

another cat
in the appartment
heard it meow
and started to scream


my two-legged are with him
they carry his smell
and I spit at them
ready to attack


I am invaded
his smell in the bedroom
his smell on everything
this is not my home
anymore


I hiss, spit and scream
scream, spit and hiss
until the other cat goes away
and his smell disappears

kisses

I don't like the intimacy
of kisses
when my two-legged
dribble on me this way
my instinct says to bite
my lips contract
my whiskers move forward
but I do nothing

two-legged

my two-legged
enjoy touching me
they smell like me
and I smell like them
when they're away
I smell like something
that is not there
and I remember
they exist

skyscraper

there's a skyscraper
in my apartment
that was made especially
for me

covered in fur and fluffy
with scratching poles
a little tree house
and a hammock

but I don't care much
for that thing

alone

was alone
last night
two-legged female was gone
two-legged male too
I curled on the bed
one eye closed
the other watching the door
nobody came
