Hi Christina,
An amusing read. The sounds your cat makes, or rather the way you describe them, fascinate. I wonder how long it will be before we have the technology to send sounds in an email. I like the ending, it leaves me wondering what kind of a mess that fat brown rat is making on a carpet somewhere.
Best wishes, Mike

Nightly
Mr Deepvoice comes with a fat brown rat,
drops it at my door and waits.
My bed's clean, my sheets fresh and starched -
I won't let you in, Mr Deepvoice.
You're black and moulting, my sheets are white.
I've sprinkled Moondew oil on my pillow,
I'm listening to the radio. Forget it.
Mr Deepvoice issues unearthly sounds -
pyramidical meows, sphinxotic yowls -
warnings of gales in Viking, Southeast Iceland,
severe gale 9 in North Utshire - dangles
from my doorhandle. No way, Mr Deepvoice
but before you can say Lily Bolero,
he's in, nuclear missile of a beast,
flinging himself into the bed, purring.
Mission accomplished, fat brown rat forgotten.
