Bringing Home Delilah

As I was checking out the cats on view, I saw just one who even seemed to care. She put white paws up to the glass, this Blue Calico with long, gray orange hair. Although her nature mattered most to me, I liked that she was small, with eyes of green. And nestling in my arms, she proved to be both gentle and uncommonly serene! Inside our house, she didn't run or hide like other cats that we'd brought home before. She jumped onto the bed and lay beside us both, then later found things to explore. Delightful like her name was our new cat, I couldn't have been happier for that! For Ryan Jackson's "Animals on your mind... Poetry Contest"
