This is from a book of poetry parody called Poetry for Cats by Henry Beard, which I very much recommend if you like both poetry and cats.
I read this poem out loud to my cat once and she watched me with rapt attention and then said rrRRRrr in the tone a human would use for 'whoa.' Have read her the poems from the New Yorker from time to time since then, but she's not as enthusiastic about them -- but then neither am I.
