Cat Game by Kaylee Baucom

Maybe you’ve played

It’s always the same

Intriguing at first

Ignites a new flame

It’s kisses then hisses

Scratch bite go insane

You’re losing again

That love cat game


First kitty comes around

You’re so thrilled to be picked

Seems the cat wants your love

Now you’re a feline addict

So you pet and you feed

Kiss hold hug squeeze squeeze squeeze

Vibrating purrs message your red heart

Furry cure for solitary disease


Soft rosy kitty paw

Hides sharp hook kitty claw

Fur on your lips

One kiss too much

You lose access to touch

Then claws come out

Light switch flick scratch and nick 

You’ve been cut you’ve been tricked

Beloved animal runs from your grip

Out the door tomcat slips 

An escaped convict

Your collection of jailer’s keys never secured one lock 


It’s always the same

Love’s a cat we can’t tame

Givers cling to receivers

Leaves us sick with cat-scratch fever

Catnip seeds in your brain

Hooked on kitty’s paw claw pain

You’re losing again

That love cat game
