Feline Intrigue

Aha!
I see you rat.
Your whiskers as long as mine.
But alas,
for you anyway
you will never see me in time.
Paws so silent
tail swishing side to side
I am large, but agile.
No time to run and hide.
One Pounce
whiskers twitch
the moment draws close
claws at the ready, by an inch.
You are hopeless.
I click my throat in taunt.
You realize too late
that you are what I want.
You Squeak!
It thrills!
Your feet at my belly
almost tickles.
Try to escape.
I'll loosen my grip.
Pull away to realize
it was all a trick.
Ha!
I have you!
Rat, you put up a good fight.
You stop squirming
I'll lick my chops in delight.
I prevail Rat.
Good hunt.
Good fight Rat.
