Last week
we decided to get a kitten;
we had read
all the available LITTERature
the library had to offer
on the CATegory,
and thought we would be
the PURRfect pet owners.

As I was on my way
home today
he called me and said
he had CATastrophic news.
He said the kitten
must have gotten CLAWstorphobic,
because when
he got back to the apartment
all our FURRniture was in ribbons!

As I got out my keys he asked;
'Is that you I hear
in the hallway right MEOW?'
and I answered in the aFURRmative.

I hurriedly opened the door
and rushed into
the living room,
but all I found was an intact
sofa set,
and him sitting with the cat
purring on his knee.

I asked;
'How is this PAWsible?'

He laughed, saying;
'I was only KITTEN around!'
