Ode to Muffin

I discovered that Blogger doesn't easily host images, so at the moment, I don't have a quick way to upload and display photos of the wonderful Miss Muffin. Lacking the visual, the verbal will have to do for now:

Crescent Cat
Paws curved in
Upside down smile
Head curled, legs stretched
Peace until the twitch of feline dreams interrupts the stillness
Then a moment of waking, arms and legs reached to the tail's tip
A look, a blink, a lazy stare
Resume the curl and return to sleep

Gargoyle Cat
Paws folded under the soft white bib perched on the sofa arm
An ear raises slightly, back legs adjust underneath
Fur ruffles in the warm slow breeze of mid-evening
Tranquil gaze overlooks all
A modern sphinx in furry feline form

Jungle Cat
Teeth bared, a growl to wake the world
Or a roar to recall the leonine past
No claws to unfurl to defend the articulated cry
Hidden hunter inside attempts to emerge, embody the fur, enliven the muscles to spring into action
But the fur stays still, engulfed in the verdant fabric of comfort not the plush green fields of tropical fury
Domestication conquers the wild
