Eventually
An acrostic on getting what I want
Eventually she’ll concede defeat.
Capitulating under my furry feet (just go with it, you know I don’t have thumbs).
Looking into my sparkling eyes,
impossible to resist my smile (yes, I know cats can’t really smile. Shut up).
Pretending she gave me a breakfast to eat (liar),
stupid human with brains of mincemeat (oops, sorry not sorry).
Eventually, I will get my treat (or she’ll get a five-claw sandwich).

What is Home for You?
Home is more than just a building; it’s where you feel safe and loved after dealing with life’s challenges. It’s a place that shields you from the world’s problems and helps you heal because it’s filled with family who cares about you. When you’re with them, you don’t have to be tough anymore or face everything alone. You can relax, hug your kids, kiss your partner, chat with your parents, and enjoy a warm meal.

Love your acrostic! Great entry!
LOL know this story well! Made me smile ;) C x
😁 Well done!
She's such a character, and it all comes through in your writing about her 😁
Haha oh no. This brought a smile to my face! You must be so proud her writing is improving though, Cathy! 😁
Love it!! :) Hilarious and so clever (great use of parentheses, too!)
I always love a great Abigail poem! She's especially sassy in this one 🤣 Love it! I agree with Lamar -- she needs her own vocal account 😍
Agree with Lamar here. That fat cat is gonna rule the world. Making us all her treat makers.
😅🤩 So funny. Abigail needs her own profile. She may have no thumbs but she can write her ass off!!! Lol.
Totally within her rights...
It is perfect for me
Haha! This made me smile!🫶
Omgggg just a few hours back I was thinking about knuckle sandwich and how it's been so long since I've heard anyone use it. I loved Abigail's modified version of it hehehehhee. I enjoyed her Acrostic so much!
Hahah!! This was so cute!! I love it and with three of my own cats, this was a little too relatable!! That being said, I dare argue that cat's do smile! 😉
Great take on the challenge and it's Abigail
This is a five star hoot, Cathy! Five claw sandwich is pure comic genius!
Hahaha I concur, she’ll get what she wants.
Ahhhh! You speak truths here! At least, I think this is what my Pebbles is thinking! I loved this.
Ha! Cats are so savage! I love it!
Love the use of the parenthetical side comments! This was a fun read!
Lol! She's probably just hangry ...
😜 I love cats and you depicted them perfectly!! 😍
Purr-fect!!! ♡♡♡ Loving it!!!💕❤️❤️
Cats are loving and intelligent at the same time. My cat is trying not to break her eye contact with me because she needs something. Her innocent style melts my heart. You write it beautifully and in a funny style.
LOL I do love it when Abigail writes! Great job, ladies!
