Hello Noël Freeman Author Icon

As a (relatively recent) cat servant, I was drawn to this piece from the title and the image you added to it.

The intro line below the title is funny. You have such a sophisticated title and then the intro line kind of takes it backwards. On the other hand, there is nothing wrong with simply saying what you mean to say.

I hate to admit it, but the last line made me laugh. It's the cadence of the rhyme and the outcome for the annoyed rodent that elicits a chuckle even in the face of such a violent act.

Check out this sentence in the third stanza:

those shiny, spiky teeth of its can surely do a goring *Right* I can't tell you why or what, but this sentence just feels off. As if there is a grammatical turn in there that isn't quite correct. I get what the sentence means to say, but I had to read it a couple of times over to fully grasp the content. I think it's too flowery and loopy for this poem that is otherwise told in a very straightforward manner.

I have one cat who would totally hunt like that. And my other cat who wouldn't be able to catch either of those rodents. He's young though. He might still become a successful hunter. I don't let them walk outside without supervision though, so I'll never find out.
