Cat
This is a poem to all who have lost a beloved cat and is dedicated to
those cats who have passed to the Rainbow Bridge before the
ones they love.
My Cats Just A Cat!
My cats mean the world to me
They see what I cannot see
The give me love and understanding
In a world of distress
My cats are not "just cats" to me
They are my life you see
They listen and do not criticize
The way I feel or how I am
My cats are my first priority
Because they mean life to me
You may not understand the way I feel
But somehow they help to make me heal
They make me heal in the love they give
They never hurt me or put me down
They give me joy just to see them happy
The way I wish I was
My cats you see do not ask much of me
they love and cherish the way I am
For I am not of the normal kind
But they don't seem to mind
My cats are not Just Cats to me
They give me life in a world I cannot see
They give me joy where there is pain
I cannot really explain
So Please do not put me down for the way I feel
My cats have kept me somewhat real
They may be just cats to you
But to me they are my reality
Reality is vague to me
Cause sometimes I cannot see
But they are there to keep me sane
In a world that otherwise seems to distend
My cats are my first priority
Because they mean the world to me
They ask of nothing in return
For the love I feel they do not turn
I may be wrong you say
I may be unstable also you say
But my cats are my happiness and give me joy
So what price can you give what then can give?
The money you say is way too much
The money you say is such a waste
To give to "just a cat" is such a shame
You should be first before the cats
For they are nothing but just "cats"!
This may be getting to be quite long
This is my inner most hungry song
That my cats are my life
I do not know why
Maybe God can tell you why
He made all creatures great and small
Who are you to tell HIM why?
He made the CAT so perfectly
To give us hope that we may see
That cats can give us happiness
And that some of us will care
For the creature that He has created
And make sure it becomes not "just a cat"
A cat to torture
A cat to mistreat
A cat to cast upon the street
A cat to not care in this world of distress
A cat not to care what will happen
To it or it's babies to show no compassion
The Lord God Almighty has created the CAT
The Lord God Almighty gave them to us
To bring us joy and happiness
And teach us to love
As HE loves HIS cats!

May he happily chase the butterflies he had yet
to catch on Earth.
