Wanted--A Witch's Cat

Wanted--A Witch's Cat by Shelagh McGee
taken from Childcraft: The How and Why Library, Volume 3-Stories and Poems page 245

Wanted--a witch's cat.
Must have vigor and spite,
Be expert at hissing,
And good in a fight,
And have balance and poise
On a broomstick at night.

Wanted--a witch's cat.
Must have hypnotic eyes
To tantalize victims
And mesmerize spies,
And be an adept
At scanning the skies.

Wanted--a witch's cat,
With a sly, cunning smile,
A knowledge of spells
And a good deal of guile,
With a fairly hot temper
And plenty of bile.

Wanted--a witch's cat,
Who's not afraid to fly,
For a cat with strong nerves
The salary's high
Wanted--a witch's cat;
Only the best need apply.

Came across this cute little poem while reading to my son Maxx. Liked it so much, I wanted to share it with you all. Here are some pictures of my very own Witch's cats (these pictures are from a number of years ago, but show their personality well):
