Poem

(more about my cat Callie and her two "replacements")

Since Callie died, new felines
as precious as can be
now rule my house most freely
and sometimes hide from me.

And neither one of them,
while sitting on my bed 
would ever (like sweet Callie)
curl up purring by my head.

Nor would the pair of them
(unless I set a trap!)
come willingly and often
to sit upon my lap.

In seeking out affection,
the new cats dilly-dally,
for they could never hold
a candle to dear Callie!

This is an older poem but was written to show that no cat was a better companion than she ever was!! Even at age 18 and dying of cancer, she was so dear and uncomplaining.
