The pronouns are variable. The shifting sections reset the inflection. (Is that the right term? Hey, English teachers, help me out on this one.)

Shad thought of this form. I mentioned that in my first question.

If you scroll this up and down really fast, you can make a double helix...

Well, TD, clearly it's because of the disturbingly violent sexuality of your line about beating breas - oh wait, that's beasts, isn't it? Hmmmm...
Oh, I know - it's because of the et'; people fear etymological variation. That, and your power to draw lines. You're just getting too big for your online britches, and that is one power that needed to be stopped.
Beyond the question itself, this is an interesting poem. I'm trying to follow the pronouns, as at first I thought "you" referred to the title kitty, but it soon appeared I was wrong, with "you" instead being the jungle-unaware reader, I think. I enjoy the defiance in the "power to draw lines" bit; I questioned why you structured this as you did, but clearly the answer is that you did it because, as the poet, you can do it if you want to. Grrrr.
As an aside, I am fascinated that the spellcheck wanted to change "Hmmmm" to "Hammy." The mind reels.

Rats, I was looking for nekkid women folk. Dang.
As for the offered poem, very different from what I noticed in the past or what I might normally see. I enjoyed it immensely. Did you really have your other poem deleted? I only asked about 2 poems and had them both deleted. Go figure. Must be some real haters of the arts. The 2 poems were
IBM
You BM
We all BM
For IBM

and
************
Here I sit,
broken hearted

But only farted

Now I put it to you, what was wrong with those poems?

i think poems approximately homicide, suicide, pedophilia and self- mutilation are actually not so threatening as a humorous poem some hen. Your stanza beginning up with "yet, Valkyrie Gull..." is alluring. Like my Bay Gull, she has soared in the process the international of poetry, bringing only excitement, laughter and each so often awe. you have brightened many dark mornings for me. it rather is my expert answer to a valid question, expressing my opinion of the above poem and could in no way be misconstrued as chatting.

So sad about Tatiana, as well as her victims. Sad all around. In the words of George Harrison, "If looks could kill it should have been us instead of him."
Your style does suggest a profile of a nice rounded bottom. *click click click* *deleted!*

It was probably deleted because its very form mocks yahoo in its ability to do basic formatting.
