Left Behind…

Left Behind…
A box of kittens, so hard to resist.
You choose three, brought us home.
We slept outside…in the cold, in the rain…
Waited for our meals at your door,
Every so often you ‘d play with us…
you’d tell us how much we were loved.
Then one day we watched you carry boxes out to the car…
You stopped, smiled and said you loved us.
We watched as you drove away…
I am all alone now…
I used to wait at your door for my meals,
The people who live there now chase me away…
I remember…you used to say you loved us.
.
I am always amazed at just how selfish people can be. This is our neighborhood stray, we have a few. People bring these animals home, profess their love then allow them to roam. Some bother to vaccinate, spay and neuter…some do not. Some leave these animals behind when they move….indeed a sad tale. This is now a wild cat, you cannot get too close…as shown above, when you do he retreats to the sewer.
