Poetry Day: The Human Cat

Posted on April 30, 2026 by Charles Yallowitz

Thundercats (Close enough)

(So, this poem is part of a duo with the other coming next week. Pretty sure people can guess what it will be. The idea stemmed from talking to someone about how there are cat people and dog people. It’s usually about the animal you like, but we took a few steps further.)

We are wandering souls
That wishes you to come along
Tempting you to adventure
Instead of mindless toiling
But you are free to stay

We are independent beings
Entertaining our own minds
Not needing anyone for much
We will ask if we want attention
Or force it from your time

We call all the shots
If abused we will fight back
Turning quicker than you think
Making sure we win the match
And you will never try again

Enjoy the ride with a feline friend
You never know our moods
Will we give you some affection
Maybe an hour of our day
Or claw you without care
