rhyme - Riddle... pray that this is the last one


Stop worshipping me!
Away! you flea!
I'll stomp you with my boots,

You know I'll accept any substitutes,
At first, I change you,
Then I begin to arrange you,
And finally I end your precious heartbeat!


Who is yelling at you?


As usual, please explain all steps in deriving an answer :)



Answer



Yet again it's



a cat.




Stop worshipping me!
Away! you flea!



The cat is telling us, the riddlers of Stackexchange, to stop writing riddles about it :-p Also, in former times, Egyptians worshipped cats. Cats get and surely hate fleas :D



I'll stomp you with my boots,



This is a reference to Puss in Boots.




You know I'll accept any substitutes,



Cats are not known for loyalty.



At first, I change you,
Then I begin to arrange you,
And finally I end your precious heartbeat!



C is the first letter in change; then the letter A begins the word arrange, and finally the letter T ends the word heartbeat - spelling out CAT.




The title is also a hint, since two riddles with similar titles have both had the same solution.
