"THIS OLD CAT"
Tribute To A Beloved Companion

I'm getting on in years,
My coat is turning gray.
My eyes have lost their luster,
My hearing's just okay.
I spend my day dreaming
Of conquests in my past,
Lying near a sunny window
Waiting for its warm repast.
I remember our first visit,
I was coming to you free,
Hoping you would take me in
And keep me company.


I wasn't young or handsome,
Two years I'd roamed the street.
There were scars upon my face,
I hobbled on my feet.
I could sense your disappointment
As I left my prison cage.
Oh, I hoped you would accept me
And look beyond my age.


You took me out of pity,
I accepted without shame.
Then you grew to love me,
And I admit the same.
I have shared with you your laughter,
You have wet my fur with tears.
We've come to know each other
Throughout these many years.

Just one more hug this morning
Before you drive away,
And know I'll think about you
Throughout your busy day.
The time we've left together
Is a treasured time at that.
My heart is yours forever.
I Promise - This old cat.

This page was made for all us who love cats.
And in memory of Diamondavid's M's Kitty who crossed
the Rainbow Bridge in January 2015. She was
in her late teens or early twenties.
David doesn't know her exact age cause she was
a stray he gave a home and love to.
And she returned the love.

IN July 2016, My husband Joe Carter and I (Barb/bluejay)
found a kitten five to six weeks old walking
along a main highway. We asked around if anyone knew
who owned it and no one did. So we brought him home.
He is a beautiful gray stripped cat we named Nusance, LOL!
Why? Because he is a nuisance.
The people in the waiting room at the veterinary office,
plus the staff laughed so hard
when we said his name, and spelled without the I in it.
He is getting big, but he is so loving and affectionate.
It took several months for him and our dogs,
Rags and Susie to get along,
but all has worked out well.
Someday he will get old too, but don't we all?
