In Memory of Butterscotch
Once I had an orange and white striped kitty
Who looked like a butterscotch candy
She was a Maine Coon
And made my heart swoon
I saw her born a kitten baby
And fell in love instantly
Small and delicate for her size
But was a lovable little prize
Her fur was so soft and fluffy
And she loved being stroked by me
Always knowing treats were in store,
She'd come running to meet me at the door
Crumpled paper was her favorite toy
Fetching with me she did so enjoy
She used to sit upon my head
To wake me up out of bed
Kissing me on my brow
Saying mom, get up right now
She went to spayed one year ago
But little did I know,
That she was too fragile for the surgery
And would end up an angel for eternity
I had her for five precious years
And still I cry many tears
Dedicated to my Butterscotch cat that died one year ago after having surgery to be spayed.
I miss you so much my precious angel. Mommy
