Wow, nine kittens! This actually made me feel quite sad for the male cat as he is almost pushed to one side. I liked how he compares himself to chopped beef, demonstrating how useless she must think he is. I thought it was really well written.

This is a fun write about these cats, although I didn't quite understand what a nursing nine meant? Cats often squabble between themselves. I enjoyed the internal rhyming here, very clever, love Dolly x

    Thank you so much for the review and the comments. The mama had nine kittens and only eight places for the kittens to get their milk. One little kitten kept getting left out and didn't make it. Actually both the female and the male cat were very protective of the litter. These are very expensive cats. As of last week, all the kittens had new homes and the male has his playmate back. I hope he doesn't get her pregnant again soon.

Your poem is creatively conceived, skillfully-composed, vividly descriptive,
and amusing. It effectively equips the male cat's mind with the complaints of a man in this spot.

You have gotten into the mind of the cat to participate in this contest. It is a great entry and I wish you luck. The picture is a perfect accompaniment to this forlorn tale of the frustrated cat!

Momma cat is being protective of the babies, while Pappa cat get bored. Need to install a Cat Bar for him, LOL! Nice blend of abab, cdcd, efef end rhymes. Good Luck in the Animal Opinion contest. Blessings.

Seems like no matter what the species the complaints are very similar. LOL. This was so fun and probably a little closer to the truth and we would all like to think. Congratulations on your nine kittens. Thanks for the read.

It seems like a slightly translated story, we've had a cat or two over the years, but only the domestic variety, except for one pedigreed Persian who fitted in very well. We mostly had them desexed. But this is a very clever, rhyming poem, that fascinates. Well written, excellently entertaining entry, in 10/8/10/8 abab rhyming delicacy, well done, good luck, blessings Roy

This state of affairs seems to have wiped the smile of the Sphynx , left out in the desert by his missus. Most unfair! As every male knows, looking after nine kids is no problem. LOL

Yeah, I can image that he's uptight and feels deprived. This also happens many times in human relationships with a lot less children to tend to. Thanks for sharing this humorous and well written work. Well done!
