Fiona, Krazy-Cat (prose-poem)

Rate: 3 Flag

she's a Krazy-Cat, Fiona

she follows me around the house, whining   no matter how much love you give her, it's not enough   I chase her up the stairs and down, just to keep her occupied   she can't go out but never stops trying   we have a huge screened porch but she mostly ignores it   she ignores the plants I bought for her to nibble on, eats the plants my wife is trying to keep safe   when her sister came back from the vet with her coat shaved, Fiona hissed at her and threatened to attack for a week or two   she loves to be rocked on my wife's lap and tries to knead on her, digging her claws in

need I say more?

Fiona's mom was hit by a car in the middle of nursing and we rescued her babies from under a house   Fiona was one of them   we figure she has PTSD

she's driving me crazy right now, but I love her regardless   sometimes I just want to get rid of her, but I know she would miss us terribly and we would miss her terribly, as well

when I think of her, I think of every child who has ever been abandoned   she's a Krazy-Cat but part of our family, for as long as our family exists

she's Fiona the Krazy-Cat

All cats are a little crazy but Fiona sounds like a poster child for the cat crazies.

Poor kitty - she's so needy!
