I live in a neighborhood full of cats and their ladies
The cats wish me well when I leave for work and greet me at my car when I get home
Their ladies sit on their porches surrounded by forests
They don’t always say hi, but I can feel them watching me
They watch me the same way they watch the neighborhood litter
Always checking for suspicious behavior
One time, there was a man blasting music in his car
I heard one of the ladies yell “Hey!!!! I can hear that noise all the way up here!!!”
She wasn’t having it
He drove off before she could say more
The only noise she likes to hear is the sound of her own voice
“Here kitty kitty!”
I hear her yelling every night, gathering her crew
“Here kitty kitty!!”
The sound of her voice keeps me safe
These ladies are the neighborhood watch
These ladies keep me safe.
