Fat cats who have cornered a food supply.

Each one's self-importance not admired sufficiently.

Not by bigger or stronger or smarter fellow fat cats,
not by family who occasionally feast,
not by house cats blaming their tasteless kibble, and
not the skinny unconnected ones.

The ferals revel, how well anarchy works for us remembering a taste they earned.

No, the fat ones will never buy love with hording.
