RE-PURR-CUSSIONS

I had gone out
with the “boys”
came home a week later.

She walked out on me
just left
looked over her shoulder
				only once…..

I had never seen that look before
					or since

she never came back…

I threw out her
litter box
a week later.

Hi John, we had a cat once who just disappeared - about 2 weeks later she returned with only 3 legs, but when we tried to go near her she would run away. She never came near the house so we left her food and water under a tree she decided to stay under - 5 days later, she disappeared again. Quite a disturbing chain of events. Sorry you lost your cat also. Poetry hugs, Jenny.

LOL! My dog did that to me. But she was trained not to cross the street, somebody recognized her sitting at the far corner and brought her home. I think I have to fave this ;) xomo

Hey, Mo, sadly it's a true story from the distant dysfunctional past
