Milly Madness

My mum was given a cat Who had apparently lived wild Told she had a few issues Supposedly mild … So this beautiful fluffy grey cat With eyes of emerald green Resided with my husband and l New member of our family and routine Milly was her name A “few” issues they said That was putting it mildly Milly was completely bonkers instead If Milly ever sat on anyones lap She would continually suck on their clothes Leaving large wet patches Why …..who knows? First few weeks of arriving in her new home She slept on on our bed That didn’t last long As she insisted literally on sleeping on our heads So at night we would shut our bedroom door Milly would scratch on the door throughout the night We were getting very little sleep Off to work in the mornings not feeling too bright Milly did so many crazy wild things The list was varied and lengthy Unbeknown one day she got in my sisters car Ate the fresh hot chicken that was for the family Though the incident that really sticks in my mind Milly stole fish defrosting for dinner that night She jumped up, grabbed the cling wrapped fish Ran and was gone in moments….out of sight The next morning was quite interesting Milly had a huge piece of poo covered cling wrap hanging out her bum Unable to gently remove it The vet was contacted to see what needed to be done Feed her olive oil they said As her bowel may be wrapped in the plastic It will then pass naturally Which it did……Fantastic!!
