The Dream By P. S. Gifford
I dreamed last night I was a cat! Now fancy that- a blooming cat. Yes, I skulked across the hallway floor, peering curiously in every door. I watched as my owner peacefully slept as I so silently, furtively crept. Then I sneaked down the creaking stairs (For I wasn’t a cat that easily scares.) I made my way like a cat on a mission, Somehow utilizing feline intuition I sat in front of the kitchen countertop And momentarily I rested getting ready to hop. Then nimbly I leaped from where I did sit and easily landing directly near it. Its scent filled me completely with glee And soon I devoured it -so greedily, Then satisfied, and full, to bed I returned, feeling that a good night’s rest I had earned. When I awoke, I lay sleepily in my bed, as my strange cat dream replayed in my head. I finally shrugged and pulled back the sheet and went downstairs for my breakfast treat. I smiled at the memory of my realistic cat dream, and wondered why I had dreamed a feline theme. Into my kitchen, yawning contently I went. To breathe in the anticipated breakfast scent. But my nose was not greeted with its expected reward. So I hastened my way across my kitchen floor. Then I looked on the counter and was filled with despair- as to my alarm, the plate was conspicuously bare. The night before freshly smoked kippers I had prepared But now, to my dismay, they had all disappeared. Then, to my shock, I coughed up a hair ball! And realized it hadn’t been a dream after all…
