The Heart of a Hunter
Proud feline heritage
in a very tiny package.
She stalks the moth as if it were her dinner;
catching it, she spits it out and mewls.
Her need for love is balanced
by her desire to be ferocious,
and every cuddle session
can become a pouncing war.
Raised with dogs, she knows no fear,
but when you only weigh two pounds,
it’s easy to get hurt.
Someday she’ll be a tiger,
if only in her dreams.
