We are all cats
Perched at the head of the sofa
Tails Twitching
Eyes Stalking
Birds
That flutter right outside the window

Not sure; I've never had one. And I don't say because I'm a dog person either. Haven't had a dog yet. So I guess so. :)

I find this poem to be rahter quikry and fun. I love the metaphor of people being cats. You detailed it very well. Nicely done. And congrats on the Editors' Choice.
