Penny - Beloved Pet Contest

She was pretty, So adorable. This little bit of fluff Suddenly arrived on my doorstep. Thin and scruffy, So hungry, Beautiful copper coloured, I called her "Penny". This traumatised cat Used to run up the curtains In fright. Hide behind doors, Pounce on my dog, Who was petrified of it he weighed 35 kg, Made him a quivering mess. In a few months Penny Grew to be a lovely looking cat. Always fighting, Could hear Penny coming All the cats were on Penny alert. Penny developed this big abscess On the face "battle scar ", Off to the vet. Guess what Penny wasn't a she, Penny was the randiest Tom in the area. I had never looked at its working parts, Penny stayed small and so pretty. Kept the same name , Lived to a grand old Age..

Penny was a nightmare, petrified the Irish wolfhound I had then. The neighbourhood cats used to run in fear, would have had an ASBO in the human world., but so loveable....Seren
