My cat.

Swarup Bhattacharya

My cat.

My cat roaming around me
during the day keeping up,
it's tail like old T.V.antenna
and sometimes takes short nap.

It leads a lazy life
when daylight is broad.
It waits for its morsel
and flicks me with its tail.

At night it has different approach.
Then its eyes illuminate brightly
and it prowls like predator,
crouch like hunter on the floor.

I find its motherly attribution,
when it sucks its kitten.
If someone goes close
then it grumbles at rage.

    Your cat sounds like a charming little companion, with its daytime laziness and nighttime prowling like a predator. The image of its eyes illuminating brightly at night and crouching like a hunter on the floor is quite captivating. It's interesting how your cat shows different sides of its personality throughout the day and night, from being lazy to alert and protective. The motherly instinct it displays when sucking its kitten is heartwarming, showing a caring side to its nature. It's fascinating how animals can exhibit such diverse behaviors based on their instincts and surroundings.
