After everyone has gone to sleep
cats begin their nocturnal wanderings
looking for critters hidden in the walls
those sneaking out to pilfer any food
left about
these fastidious creatures
are there to catch all intruders
sometimes leaving carcasses as evidence.
The soft pads on their paws make it easy
for them to walk about,
sneaking up on the unsuspected.
Their flexible bodies make them suitable
for creeping into the small spaces near the kitchen sink
and occasionally making things rattle or fall.
