One life here
Eight lives later
She is bigger
They are fatter
Fresh-born cluster
How they milk her
Feline litter
Faecal matter
Here is shitter
There is shatter
Nine lives of joy
And laughter
Poem in response to 12 poems in 12 months challenge prompt “Shatter”

We seem to share a little love for cats.
And the image works so well!
