3 July 2025 - caterwauling

< yesterday -- tomorrow >

Early on a morning cheery, as I mused on quantum theory,
Reading many strange, mysterious papers over petit-fours--
As I jotted hopeful scrawlings, suddenly I heard a squalling.
"Half a cat is caterwauling in the box there on the floor,
Just a half-existent feline screeching like a pterosaur.
I should open it before...."

clue:

What's scarier, Poe's long version or my short one?

take oh take this clue away
