Just a Cat
No longer
Will morning find you pondering the flight of birds
You won’t
Trip me in the kitchen, a bandit circling – like I’d forget the milk
Up on the bed
Attack everything beneath the duvet
Purr with my daughter and the Barbies
Watch some favorite TV show.
No more my little one
Trust me to carry you like a slip of black velvet still sleeping in my hands
No. No more because
Some ignorant bastard drove like a maniac and thought, oh just a cat

Sad, sad, sad. So sorry for your loss. About two years back, we adopted two stray cats (both males orange tabbies, recently neutered at our request) which we named MeeMee and LaoLao, two so-independent ones. One of them loves sleeping on Scotty’s lap, and that’s quite enviable. Hope you find fitting replacement soon. Best and good luck. e/s
