Not a happy camper
With her head restrained
She wants to groom
But she can't, nor can she scratch
Because of her condition
Flying at the speed of light
She took off in fright
From my brother's dog
Impaled herself hard
Jumping in a tree in my yard
Vet stitched her up
And said it was no pup
That bit her,
A tree or something got her
When she was going fast
As a zipper
Stoner cat found out
She couldn't walk forward
Because of the heavy cap
So now she scoots backward
And it's funnier than
cat in the hat
Because she lost peripheral vision
I moved her bowls
into the kitchen
We slept on the couch
So she wouldn't be
alone
Wake up this morning
To find she made the stairs
all on her own
Go to check on her,
She's exhausted
I see
Stairs were
probably hard with a cone head on
Worse than climbing that tree
