Slinky, silky, gliding
Caged up and fierce
Ready to ambush
You are pathetic
I am authoritative
I subsist
You don’t in humanity
I am the vigor
For battle or escape
I am clever and eloquent
I am a cat

Owned a cat or two have you? ;) Oh how I remember. We lost our black cat several years ago after 17 years with Taja. Haven't had the heart to replace her.
