The Cat it knows I treat it right
To live a life kept out all night
I leave the door left open slight
To tease the cat with warmth and light.

The Wretched Beast of Spat on hair
Is at my window - I'm aware
And sit there it will in despiar
Cause Simply put: I do not care.

As time drifts on the room grows dark
And to my shock the window stark
No glint nor glow from lustrous eyes
The feline gone to its demise...

...Or so I thought; when cross the room
A figure rose with fur of doom
Claws like razors, sharp and bright
I fear this is my final night...

"Oh God!" I cried and fled the room
It wants my blood I can assume
A knife, A Gun, or Just a Broom
Or Chloramine - a deadly fume.

I hear its steps so close behind
The outcome racing through my mind
What if it leaps and swipes me blind
So I'm alive still while it dines.

I quickly dash around a bend
Still nothing with I can defend
My self from having to ascend
But maybe though I should pretend...?

Into the hall the feline crawled
To see me set akwardly sprawled
A feigned death, my face is dazed, yet
The kitten doesn't seem amazed.

I dare not move for it draws near
My heartbeat in my chest I hear
And it must too, oh yes it's clear
It finds me laying here quite queer.

On to my chest the kitten crawled
Is kitten what this should be called?
More like a demon or hellish spawn
"Oh, Shit." I cried, My cover's gone!

I flail about, my beans it won't reap!
Back on my feet and with a massive leap
I dive for the door but its pursuit's complete
It's hold on me's absolutely concrete.

I'd run right now, but I've already tried
The hell-beast fastened to my side
No hiding places left to hide
No Chide I tried it would abide.

I'm in it's grasp yet still not dead
Nor has it tried to eat my head
I think this hell-beast that I dread
Is just a kitten as once said

I hold it close to stroke its fur
The soothing feeling makes it pur
The time's quite late so off to bed
The kitten inside unlike aforesaid...

I think you should add the REAL ending to this story

Morning comes I am awake
I yawn and stretch for fitness' sake
Morning breeze in sockets make
Me think kitten's love was fake!

Beguiled then blinded while i slept
By a furry fiend whose claws are kept
Always sharp like a pirate's hooks
How am i now to read my books?

Great poem - I liked it more than some of Shel Silverstein's works even
