My Christmas Cat

She’ll always be my Christmas cat though now disease has come to her and made her skinny! Despite that, she’ll always be my Christmas cat. I still recall when she was fat. How sweetly loudly she would purr. She’ll always be my Christmas cat though now disease has come to her. She reaches out her paw to me. And with a small “meow” she speaks. She’s never had temerity! She reaches out her paw to me, for she’s still got tenacity. A Christmas treat of mine she seeks! She reaches out her paw to me. And with a small “meow” she speaks. Dec. 28, 2018 for Dear Heart's 'Christmas Pets - Writing Challenge December 2018 - ' Poetry Contest

A wonderful tribute to your cat and great entry for the contest. Sorry to hear kitty is having problems. Yes, eating black-eyed peas on New Years day is supposed to bring good luck for the year. An old southern tradition introduced to me by my wife of 66 years who was from Louisiana. Try some for luck! Happy New Year - Bob

yes, she has diabetes and her back feet went flat from nueropathy or something. RAther than pay the expensive insulin shots monthly, I found a product called blood sugar gold which I put twice a day in her food. It seems to be what she needs. But her feet are still flat and she walks funny!!

So sad, Andrea. Ouch. I hope she is well, and I know what you mean. My husband will always be 15 for me. My first pet that I got to have in the house.
