If you fear me so much, does it at least mean my writing cuts deep?

As always, looking for a soft pet to initiate comfortable biscuits! Meow.

But don't fear my claws, or glassy eye'd stare,

Just approach slow and declare you're there,

Then speak softly to pull me warmly near you.

Kitty friends are so easy to make if you take time to calm them into their awareness,

But otherwise they swat and dance madly about trying to catch shadows in their mind.

Just don't ever leave me in a dark box to claw at what I shouldn't scratch but am now in.

You've all seen that jumpy dam cat on video, mad dashing around before your eyes!
