Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / January 2008Stray Cat
Stray Cat Dear God, please send me somebody who'll care. I'm so tired of running and sick with despair. My body is aching and filled with such pain; And dear God I pray, as I run in the rain That someone will love me and give me a home, A warm cozy bed, and food of my own. My last owner left me alone in the yard.. I watched as they moved, and God that was hard. So I waited awhile, then went on my way. To rummage in garbage and live as a stray. But now, God, I'm so tired and hungry and cold; And I'm so afraid that I'll never grow old. They've chased me with sticks and hit me with straps While I run the streets just looking for scraps. I'm not really bad, God, please help if you can, For I have become just a "Victim of Man." I'm wormy, dear God, and I'm ridden with fleas; And all that I want is an Owner to please. If you find one for me, God, I'll try to be good. I won't scratch the carpet; I'll do as I should. I'll love them, play with them, and try to obey. I will be so grateful if they'll let me stay. I don't think I'll make it too long on my own, 'Cause I'm getting weak and I'm so all alone. Each night as I sleep in the bushes I cry, 'Cause I'm so afraid, God, that I'm gonna die, I've got so much love and devotion to give That I should be given a new chance to Live. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Life without cats would be only marginally worth living." -TC, and the unmercifully, relentlessly, sweet calico kitty, Kenzie.

When she came inside she weighed about half what she should, but her kittens were all well fed and well, except for a couple with weepy eyes from an cold. TED was really impressed with how good a mother she was. He ended up keeping two of her kittens himself, and finding a home for a third, and did Spot's spay at a reduced cost. This definitely could have been written about her.

If you do not mind I think I will send this to the "Letters to The Editor" in the local paper. Thanks for posting it. >Stray Cat > [quoted text clipped - 44 lines] >Life is very difficult.

[quoted text clipped - 52 lines] > >Life is very difficult. Once you understand that, life becomes easier. > >-Buddha All my cats were stay who move in with me over the years. One of them belonged to an old woman who pass away a few years ago. Her family was happy to take the woman home and belonging but no one took the time to find a new home for her cat. She ended up living in a tree by my home and as my townhouse was already full of cats at the time, I firmly refused to take anymore cats in even if I would feed her. Came home one day, during a very heavy rain storm, to find my wife setting on the couch with something wrap in a towel and from that time forward she been mine. Guess the saying "Cat's Rule" does mean something. Good for the cat. > All my cats were stay who move in with me over the years. > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > setting on the couch with something wrap in a towel and from that time > forward she been mine. >All my cats were stay who move in with me over the years. > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] >setting on the couch with something wrap in a towel and from that time >forward she been mine. Good for your wife. Sound like our kind of people!! >All my cats were stay who move in with me over the years. > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] >setting on the couch with something wrap in a towel and from that time >forward she been mine. BTDT yep, that's how Spotty came to be here. I figure she showed up with her kittens on the patio that day because she knew it was to rain ;-) And of course Little Bit had to come in because of that ice storm, and she'll be leaving just as soon as it warms up outside. What's it been, eight years now and it's still not warm out, yet?
