Musings Of A (Disgruntled) House-Cat

Summary:

What starts off as a hunt turns into a trick, and one unwitting housecat isn't having it.

Notes:

(See the end of the work for notes.)

Work Text:

Once, I was quite captivated by this peculiar green light
It was the ultimate prey, dancing away even when I pounced just right!

And my human's laughter made me put up quite the fight
But I couldn't catch that damn light, and it was quite the plight!

I thought, what if my human loses faith in my hunting skill?
I feared what my fate would be, if I couldn't get this kill!

And then I realized this epic hunt was all planned
When I spied the flashing device in my human's hand!

My tail puffed up, I couldn't believe this silly trick had me so stuck!
I promptly let out a yowl, one that said, what the fuck?

Notes:

I don't know how cats fall for the laser pointer. I think they know they can't catch it but they try anyway XD

Thanks for reading!
