CATMADNESS

Posted on 05/02/2021 by Nightpoet

Back in the 1970’s, when I was living and working in Virginia,

a friend came to work one morning and told me a story

about his cat, his girlfriend and a squeaky brass bed.

The cat kept thinking that he was hearing a mouse

and would come into the bedroom to investigate.

His story inspired this poem.

Digitally enhanced image created from a photo of Sherlocke, my incredible cat, taken in November 1974.
