Had to come back and read this poem again. It's great, except that I just noticed that the word HUNT has a space in the middle of it. Or maybe I noticed that before and just didn't mention it. Anyway, I enjoy your poems.

You have nailed the life of a cat perfectly! I have a couple of poems about cats myself: CATS HAIKU and CATS (IN THE STYLE OF HEATHER BURNS)
