(4)GREAT CATS I HAVE KNOWN

1.DOG
scrappy black wilde cat adopted me
in our open house,roamed free
until one day she looked at me
and died in front of me
All her life in that one moment
one diamond focus

2.GINGER
Gift from Christina.Scared cat
hiding in cupboards,attacked by all others
Soon became Queen of our home
adored by all who visited.She
came back from the dead to say farewell
We never saw her again

3.LOVE CAT
Over our fence with a collar but adopting us
Male with muscle and a hard loving nature
Last I saw he was staring from the hood of our car
His paw prints in dust remind us

4.TOOTS
Rescued from death/last in the line
Her eyes challenged anyone to take her home
They still flash feral/even when she is happy here
Occasionally a scratch from a claw-more purrs of contentment
She lives,we love-she trains us in THE WAYS OF CAT
