Stray Cat Visiting? What Does It Mean And What Should You Do? | Home & Roost

"the idea that some lives matter less is
the root of all that is wrong with the world."

Healing Paws, Animal Rescue

the old woman lives alone she has pains in every bone with no family, no friend she struggles waiting for the end one day a stray cat came to her door and she told it to "get away" with a roar but the old cat kept coming back and back so, she began to soften and gave it a snack soon, she expect and wanted the cat stroking his dirty fur as she sat it purred and rubbed against her then, she brought him in stroking his fur she fed him, gave him water, and gave him a bath and that gesture of love opened up a new path the old lady is not alone anymore for her love for this sweet old cat does pour and pour is it fairy dust ? must be ... for disgust turned into their loving trust

Congratulations on your win. WOW!!! What a lovely/wonderful~ story/write/cute cat picture. Love It... Many years ago when we moved into a house a cat showed up there. She would not leave. One day I gave her tuna from the can. She was in mine. To the store to buy cat food... Have a blessed day/week..................

What is it with ladies and cats? Must be the affection they offer. Nicely told.

TS, thank you so much for the comment, it is true many ladies like cats but so do lots of men. Cats like dogs are great companions, and thanks for the compliment, blessings, Constance

just tender and beautiful words, Constance! Reminds me of what happened to my lonely neighbor who took in a rather disgusting Ferrel cat. Love (that fairy dust you mentioned) turned that digust into a trusting relationship. Well said. Enjoyed the read. Have a pleasant evening, Sara

Your The poem radiates warmth and tenderness, showcasing how a simple act of kindness can turn disgust into a bond of loving trust. It's a testament to the magic of compassion and connection, perhaps a sprinkle of fairy dust that brings solace and companionship to the once lonely old woman...
