I like this poem. You can tell that Pita is a very spirited animal. The cat's name is really cute name. I reviewed this item later on so I can only imagine what Pita looks like. I would have loved to see the image for her. I really like the tone of this poem. It is a bit playful with tongue in cheek element to it as it is told in a way of what we imagine an cat's thoughts to be. I love the potential gripes shared (i.e. new kittens, litter brands and my personal favorite... the virtues of foil pouches over cans). You really did a great job getting into a cat's mindset. I can totally picture them thinking along those lines. It goes even further when the kitten evaluates its owners choices of music. I can definitely picture the landmines left behind.

I think a lot of cat owners find themselves getting an early morning wake up call at one time or another in their lifetimes making the 5am awakening from Pita very relatable to a lot of readers as is the need for coffee. What comes across reading the negotiation at the end of the story is that, it is from an owner that really loves the cat a lot.

On a technical level this poem is very well written. It follows a free verse style but there seem to be bits of rhythm and flow to it. I am unsure if it was intentional or not but there is a nice rhyme in the second stanza with brands and cans. There is also a nice bit of alliteration in the last stanza with "stalk spiders". These little touches help this poem to pop.

Where this poem really shines though is its description and word choices that really allow the readers mind to picture the word choices clearly. I love the description of catnip as "Kitty heroin".

Another thing that I really liked was the description of Pita shared at the end. It was a great touch for this item. Great writing!!
