A is for Agile, with my graceful, nimble leap.
Over rooftops, under fences, not a sound I’ll peep.
Balancing on thin ledges, or darting through the grass,
my agility is unmatched, no one can surpass.

B is for Ball, rolling and round,
it leaps and bounds then hits the ground.

C is for Chasing my shadow on the wall,
Running back and forth in the hall.
I’m a hunter, swift and keen,
Catching shadows that are barely seen.

D is for Discovery, darting through the grass,
Exploring every corner, as the day does pass.

E is for Energy, a boundless zest,
From sunrise to sunset, I hardly rest.
Climbing, running, always in motion,
My energy is as vast as the ocean.

F is for Furry, my friends at the park.
We meet every day, at times in the dark.

G is for Garden, where I love to play.
Bugs to chase, it’s my glorious day.

H is for Hiss, when I’m feeling quite cross,
A warning to others I’m feeling the boss.
It’s my way of saying, “It’s time to back off,”
Or you might just see my claws come aloft.

I is for insects, buzzing in sight,
leaping to catch them with all my might.

J is for Jingle, the sound of my bell and toys,
A melody that brings me much joy.

K is for Kitten, that’s what I once was.
Full of life and curiosity, exploring without a pause.
Chasing my own tail, in a playful bout,
learning the ropes of cat life, inside and out.

L is for Licking, to clean and to groom,
From the tips of my whiskers to the tail of my plume.
I lick my fur soft, and keep myself tidy,
A cat’s way of primping, quite spry and sprightly.

M is for Meows, my way to speak, to express joy and need.
Each tone a word, a song of mine, a feline language indeed.

N is for Nap, as I laze in the sun,
Right after lunch, when my play is all done.

O is for observe, as I perch on the sill,
Watching the birds, so quiet and still.

P is for Purr, a sound so sweet,
The gentle rumble when humans I greet.
Curled in a lap, feeling so glad,
My motor starts up when I’m feeling not bad.

Q is for Quick, my pounce is sure.
No mouse nor toy, could endure.

R is for Rat, quick and spry,
In a game of chase, off we fly.

S is for Scratch, to keep my paws neat,
A good scratch post is a delightful treat.

T is for Tail, a curious thing,
It flicks and it swishes, it’s like a spring.
I chase it in circles, though it’s part of me,
A mystery forever, how can that be?

U is for Unique, just like every stripe and spot,
On our furs, so special, loving each lot.

V is for Vision, with eyes so keen,
Not a single movement goes unseen.
In darkness and light, my eyes do gleam,
Guiding me through every sunbeam.

W is for Whiskers, twitching so quick.
In the dark of night, they help me pick.

X is for Xenops, a bird so small and fine,
if we can catch it, we cats like to dine.

Y is for Yarn, my favorite toy,
Rolling and tumbling, it brings so much joy.
Round and round, across the floor,
With every bat and pounce, I love it more.

Z is for Zoomies, the sudden burst of energy that has me racing from room to room,
my paws thumping and heart booming, dispelling any gloom.
