Feline Dreams

Feline Dreams

I wake up

I do not feel quite the same

I stretched out and made sounds of meow

I might scratch you

My arms and hands

Have been transformed

I’ve never had four furry legs before

Or paws with sharp white claws

I feel so agile and light on my padded feet

I want to have some devilish mischief

Maybe, playing with my owners feet

I feel very hungry

Breakfast of mackerel and crunchy cereal

With lashings of cold creamy milk

My world is all on ground level

As I skate on these slippery kitchen tiles

I feel so incredibly small

My owners are like giants

As I weave between their ankles

I realise I have a long twirling tail

My sense of smell

Intensifies

I feel so incredibly alive

I think, I’m a house cat

As I lounge on my comfy sofa

It must be time for an afternoon cat nap

It’s a hard life being a kitty-cat

I smell a big juicy rat

I’m curious

It could be my very first catch

I’ll try that

Instead, I slide on the bristle like welcome home matt

My bum felt that

The day has turned into night

I want to switch on the bright lights

I can’t reach with my reduced height

I jump up the stairs

I try to find my bed

I feel like a sleepyhead

I definitely haven’t been my usual self

I feel like a cat on a bedroom shelf

I really don’t feel myself

I wake up

It must have been a dream

As I lick clean my cereal bowl

Filled with delicious cereal and milky cream

I must have had a feline dream

I have only just realised

I have giants feet

As my kitty-cat weaves in between my ankles

He is so agile and sleek

I dreamed, I was once a kitty-cat

When I fell asleep

It was all kinda neat
