Since I apparently missed #InternationalHyenaDay yesterday, I'm doing #FeliformFriday! Feliformia is a suborder of the order Carnivora, and includes cats, hyenas, mongooses and civets.

for the heart to seize,
for the leaping sinews to go slack,
for the fight to the death to be fought to the death…
