I pad forward
Paws silent
Murder in my eyes

My prey a slumber
Unsuspecting
Of my deadly surprise

A twitching limb
Unguarded foot
I Lunge, my aim is true

An outraged scream
That bloody cat
I dodge the fast flung shoe

An ode to all those with cats and feet that dangle tantalisingly over the edge of the bed
