The Three Legged Cat

The Three Legged Cat By Franklin Price 2/9/2016 The three legged cat, a sight to see, a long haired Siamese, a Seal Point there is no mistake, it's outside in the freeze. It came up to our back porch; knocked on the doggie door, said, “Could I come inside tonight? It's cold, I do implore” My wife's a real cat lover, her eyes were sadness filled, Said, “We have a box and blanket, a small shelter we could build.” I guess I'm just a softy; especially when it comes to her. I'm thinking, “It's a long haired cat. That's why it has it's fur”. You know that I relented. We got the blanket and the box; Made a shelter for the Siamese; Even got a pair of sox. Put the shelter on the covered deck on the lee side of the wall. She enticed the cat to go inside all she had to do was call. We left it looking curiously, As only cats can do And as we went into the house I think it meowed “ Thank you”. Now it's early morning We don't know where it's at Probably went home last night It was the neighbor's cat.
