Monogamous Cat
Today I met a monogamous cat.
I was twirling the keys to my Black Saturn
Sauntering from my Clients home After making him breakfast
And In the wide paved road
sat a fluffy orange cat with a pink collar.
Staring at me.
I put my keys away and knelt down in the middle of the road.
My red converse cracking a bit As I bend down to present my hand.
The cat came over when I called
Sniffed and let me pet her on the head, neck, and back
Nuzzled into my Khaki pants
I took this as a sign of friendship
naturally,
I went to rub this cats belly
oh, boy,
was that the wrong move.
The messege was clear.
I was not this kitty's owner,
And she was having none of my ****
She left my hand,
more blood than skin
I pet her on the head
one last time to let her know
We could still be friends.
I shouldn't have been so forward.
But how am I supposed to know
a species notorious for hedonism
produced a monogamous cat?
I am greatful she knows her boundaries
that she is comfortable
cutting a man
When he crosses them.
