There's a Cat in my Attic

There's a cat in my attic, oh what shall I do?
There's a cat in my attic or maybe it's two.
It could be a goblin, but goblins don't mew.
I don't want a cat in my attic, would you?

I hear it at night when I'm trying to sleep.
I'm counting meows instead of some sheep.
Just as I get into a slumber so deep
I awake to a thump, a jump and a leap.

What are they doing? There must be a bunch,
And what do they find in my attic for lunch?
There's no food up there upon which they can munch.
I fear it's a rodent that I hear them crunch.

There's a cat in my attic, oh what shall I do?
There's a cat in my attic, or maybe a few.
I'm pounding the ceiling, I'm calling out shoo!!
Would you like a cat in the attic? Or two???

Help!!! Joyce

Dear Joyce:  Do you REALLY have a cat in your attic?? That actually happened to my mother one time. A storm knocked a tree over and it crashed into the end of her house and broke the attic window. Before anything could be done to remove it, a female cat had climbed up the tree and made herself at home in the attic. It's a long story but tuna fish was the answer

Love

Yes, i truly had a cat in my attic.  It was a wild cat that no tuna fish would tempt.  The trouble was that my attic door had slipped and I didn't know it.  And the cat had sneaked into my garage and then into my attic and I could hear it meowing but didn't know where it was .  I finally left everything open and it got out.

Your poem made me laugh! Glad it was only a cat, better than a roof rat!
