Ratty cat

Ratty cat, ratty cat, old and alone, sitting on a wood pile, making it his own.. Ratty cat, ratty cat, listening and wondering. Why has the sky grown dark? Could that be thundering? Ratty cat, ratty cat, here comes the rain.. Fur now soaking wet thru an orange matted mane.. Ratty cat, ratty cat, drenched as can be. Are you waiting there for a free meal from me?

Hello Nancy, Does this Ratty Cat belong to anyone? Is this cat a stray? Do you both feed him? This ratty cat is homeless. If so so sad. Hugs. /Darlene/
