Newcomer

He just appeared at eventide. I opened the door, he came inside. He swished his tail and looked around. He said, "I'll stay. A home I've found." About 3 months old,a tabby grey, My how that kitty likes to play. He climbs on my lap and then to my head. His sharp little claws I've come to dread. He is too young to be a stray, Someone has simply thrown him away. I hadn't replaced my last pet you see, I knew sooner or later one would find me. There is no doubt, he is here to stay. The sweet kitten who was tossed away. By Joyce Johnson True. He just came last night.

Hon, cats have great instincts so I'm sure she found her way to your door because she knew you would welcome her. Your kind-hearted nature is visible to all, even felines. I do hate the thought that she may have been "tossed away" before finding a home with you. She is safe now. Love, Carolyn
