Some Perspectives on Cat Feet

by Lee Kirk

1.

When she is content, the cat sashays

with her tail erect, tip just barely bent.

She walks as though

she owns everything under her feet.

2.

When I tap her food dish, the

cat runs into the kitchen --

her feet make a sound

like marbles rolling down a washboard.

3.

The cat observes my rules

while I am watching.

When I come home, I find

paw prints on the counters.

4.

I awaken in the night

to feel cautious paws

exploring the length

of my body.

5.

The cat recognizes

the importance of her feet:

solicitously,

she washes between each toe.

6.

A cat from down the street

moved in with my friend.

“They didn’t treat him well,” she

says, “and he voted with his paws.”
