Carnivorous Cleo

At last, a cute cuddly story about a kitten. Sure, it may seem I'm off track here, not writing about hospital nonsense, but kittens are people too.

Carnivorous Cleo

Do animals need training?

I suppose they do,

Their mothers nurse them

Just like you,

But the human analogy

Should stop right there,

They have survival abilities

That hu-babes don't share.

I just read an article

About Cleo the cat,

A survivor of a car crash

Where a Chihuahua went splat,

Because he ran into the traffic

After the family car was crunched,

Little Cleo ran away

Without getting punched.

The people were hurt

And the Chihuahua was dead,

Thereby proving that cats

Are way smarter in the head,

Much more able to survive

A week or two on their own,

Cleo probably would have called

If she had her own phone.

The article seems written

In the usual silly way,

Regarding poor helpless animals

Needing rescue every day,

By cockamamy caregivers

Those of the human kind,

While a cat is a predator

A carnivorous hunter in kind.

Per the article:

She fended for herself

In unfamiliar country for two weeks,

Ludicrous, to propose

Cleo had no techniques,

To survive in the wild

Without human intervention,

Cleo wasn’t lost

Nor did she suffer apprehension.

Animals: don’t worry about the future

They survive in the Now,

Making the most of their environment

Without having a cow,

Although, these two cats I have now

On loan for three years,

Will cry like babies at the door

As if I cut off their ears.

No, Cleo was a survivor

Didn’t require a rescue,

Found a good barn to sleep in

In a bed of Fescue,

Plenty of mice to chase

Freedom from rules,

Yet, at the end of the story

Had to suffer more fools.
