This page is dedicated
to poetry and ryhme, some of which I have come across on my travels
and others I have composed myself, inspired by my cats and written
for them.
If you have a favourite cat poem that you would like to share,
please forward a copy and I will add it to this page.
I Love My Little Kitty
I love my little kitty, she makes my house a home,
She always is my best friend, i never feel alone.
She makes me smile, she makes me laugh, she fills my heart with
love,
Did some breeder breed her, or did she fall down from above?
I've
never been a breeder, seen life through their eyes,
I hold my little kitty and just sit and criticize.
I've never known their anguish, I've never felt their pain,
The caring of their charges, through snow or wind and rain.
I've never sat the whole night through, waiting for babies to
be born,
the stress and trepidation when they're still not here by dawn.
I've never felt the heartache, of a little life in my hands,
This darling little baby, who weighs but 60 grams.
Should you do that instead of this... or this instead of that,
Alone you fight, and hope one day, he'll grow to be a cat,
And bring joy to another being, and make a house a home,
You know it's all just up to you, you'll fight this fight alone.
formula, bottles, heating pads, you've got to get this right,
Two hourly feeds for this tiny guy, throughout the day and night.
In your heart you know, you're almost sure to lose the fight,
to save this little baby, but god willing..you just might.
Day one he's in there fighting, you say a silent prayer,
Day two and three, he's doing well, with lots of love and care.
Day four and five...he's still alive, your hopes soar to the
heavens,
Day six he slips away again, dies in your hands day seven.
You take this little angel, and bury him alone,
With aching heart and burning tears, and an exhausted groan.
You ask yourself "why do this?.. why suffer all the pain?"
But see the joy your kittens bring...it really self explains.
So, when you think of breeders and label them with greed,
Think about what they endure to fill anothers need.
When you buy a kitten and with precious pounds part,
Remember, you only pay with money..we pay with our heart
