Territory

She approaches low as her back arches,
with burning, reproachful eyes she stares.
Showing just a slight bit of fang,
a low growl comes between her lips.
Her tail flicks, her claws come out
her back end wags as she lowers her head.
A slight movement catches her eye,
she launches herself in the air.
Paw stretched out, fur flying around,
and a split second later she has her prey.
A struggle ensues as they fight for control,
but it's a losing battle for both;
their human's have intervened,
split the two of them apart.
Such is the life of a cat
trying to keep her territory her own.
