Written, 2012

"A hooligan cat homeless and tattered, hungry, and lurking on my porch battered; a bitten ear and one eye, brought him inside and life was never the same ." Quote by_ Constance

The Story of Grumpy Cat -First Draft

It was morning when my cat Fluffy meowed a warning for on our porch was a
stray cat his fur a tattered mat but his one blue eye spoke to me . . . and my
heart broke. Oh, how he growled and hissed too late, for my soul had been
kissed and each day "Grumpy Cat" was on my porch waiting yet, I could not
catch him and that was very frustrating ! Finally, I was able to catch him and
bring him inside my home. He never left.  A bath revealed a brown tabby. We
developed a bond so deep and meaningful and I have lots of stories to tell.
The years passed too quickly and soon Grumpy was a very old cat, feeble and
weak, until his last day in my arms and with tears and a kiss I had to let go.
I was cold and scared, rejected by the world, shivering on your covered porch;
but you did not chase me away but you brought me food, at first I hissed a lot,
so you named me Grumpy cat ! Eventually, we shared unconditional love each moment. You cannot save me mommy, I suffer from old age. I love you. Will
be waiting at the end of rainbow bridge ! As I draw my last breath I am within
your shining love  ... First Draft 2012,  Been trying to write this since.
