Confession: I’m not generally a poetry fan. But sometimes one just pops into my head. Happy Fiction Friday!

I made a joke once
That the novelty cat plates would be perfect for when we decided to
Eat
Our
Cats.
I’d never eat my cat, or any cat.
I stopped eating mammals nearly two years ago.
I had rabbit stew once –
It was good, but for the lingering pieces of fur
Hiding within the broth.
I imagine cat stew would be much the same
And it holds no appeal.
Ted and Mab are too skinny to eat. I’d never eat my cats, either. But I do sometimes threaten to make them into slippers.
Yeah, they really are. Empty threats are good for keeping them on their toes.
