I recall the day that I brought h e r home, six weeks old and a ball of spotted fur; all around the house that day she did roam, at times- she ran so fast she was a blur. Then, she would c r a w l upon my knee to purr, oh, such a murmuring tranquility; that little s o u l was all fragility. One day, I came home to find her dead, oh, I will miss that sweet l o v i n g personality; buried now- under roses red. ___________________________ August 29, 2016 Poetry/Rhyme/Death of a Kitten Copyright Protected, ID 16-1134-305-0 All Rights Reserved.

Hi Dear Heart: We had a cat named Max and he was always aloof except when feeding time came. He live 11 year-end he was our last pet.

Ralph, thanks for visiting my poem, I am sorry about Max cat, I know the pain, yes, I think my last cat will be Snuggles who was given to me by my sister, since Peanut, I had to put Patches to sleep cause she had cancer, and Smudges died in my arms of old age at 18, now Snuggles rules, she is only 7 years old, but I know one day, I will say goodbye ~

A pet is truly a treasured gift. I always make time for my Cat Ethan, knowing that one day he will be gone. Have a great day.

David, thanks for your compassion, yes, we know when we get a pet that we will out live them and we will be shattered by their death, yet we do it anyways ~

Dear Heart, Oh, Lord how painful for you. I wrote a poem about my cat, that was older. She jumped off my lap, walked four feet away and dropped dead. Young or older, these felines are special. Irene who came after her, likes to lay in the exact spot Luvey died in! Freaks me out! Panagiota

Panagiota, thanks for your kind words, that is so sad about your cat Luvey, but at least she died quickly and with you there. Irene perhaps smelled the cat scent and maybe she felt comforted ~

In memory of adorable Peanut Kitten who died from chewing on a wire and receiving a fatal electric shock. I guess it did not take much for a little kitten. This is a terrible habit some cats have and it is very hard to break and can be fatal as with Peanut.

Yes, you are right Panagiota, I found out about flowers because my poor late cat Smudges loved to nibble on anything green, she did not eat enough to be toxic but her tummy was definitely upset. Now, anything with leaves or flowers has to put high up so Snuggles cat can not reach them because she is a nibbler too.

Beware of bringing flowers in..many are lethal to cats. You or I could chew on a wire and be gone in a flash. So sorry..Panagiota
