Really cute and apt. Having read this and 'pigeon', thought I'd mention my, well, it's my cousin's husband, not sure what that makes him, he recently published a 'bestiary', there's a whole literary tradition of 'em!

I liked this and the final punchline is good. Line 6 is incorrect: it should be 'it didn't need feeding' or 'it didn't need to be fed'. I'll charitably assume that was a typo. PS your poem assumes all cats are male. I have it on the best authority only 50% are male. And a significant proportion have been de-jewelled. Thus, they lick for other reasons. As we all would, could we but reach. Please come and read some of my efforts as we may share a similar sense of humour. Best wishes. Edna.
