My Beautiful Girl

she came to me starving and with matted fur ... an unwanted kitty
not from wandering the street but from a well to do family
who got her on a whim and  then forgot about her
she spent her days searching their huge house looking for food
kitty was in a box in my home, scared, weak and skinny - meowing loudly
I lifted the lid, hisssssss ! This is how it went for a few hours
but, food tempted her to leave the safety of that old tattered box
she ate and ate and I promised her she would never be hungry again
the next day I took her to the vet an he was horrified at her condition
but we started working on getting her better with needles and nutrition
I got her a soft bed, and lots of balls to chase, dangly toys, and squeaky mice
we cuddled on the sofa, hisses became purrs and kneading paws
I had given her a bath and some fur had to be cut- now I brush her daily
in a few weeks she was looking very different becoming quite fluffy
I love her grey tabby fur and bright golden eyes
will never understand how anyone could treat her so poorly
how anyone would not give her food, water and love
but lucky me got this adorable girl to be my very best friend 
oh, the years have passed but our love grows and grows each day
God sent me an angel without wings in a box that fateful day

Hiba Junaid July 14, 2024 at 11:52 AM people can be so cruel. thank you for taking in that ball of fur and treating her like she deserves to be treated. everything breathing deserves to be loved. and i believe she must be thankful to you as well, as you are to her.

Beryl Edmonds July 8, 2024 at 12:06 AM Constance you are an angel too, it’s kind of you to have taken that ill treated cat into your home. So pleased that your cat has recovered and is now safe and well. Bless you both, Beryl Constance La France July 9, 2024 at 6:50 AM Beryl, thank you for your lovely comment, and compliment. Snuggles has turned into a beloved fat, fluffy cat, her days of neglect forgotten. She has given me her unconditional love, which is priceless. But, I will never forget that helpless bedraggled five pound cat in a box, terrified of the world, Constance
