Why Did the Cat Leave Home

Why did the cat leave home, so he could roam. Under the porch he did sleep, it was cool and it was cheap. In "my private universe" he would wish, he could eat buckets of fresh fish. Date Written: 9/10/2020 Honorable Mention My Private Universe Contest Judged:10/4/2020 Sponsored by: Julia Ward

ha...a spoonful of cod liver oil for medicinal punishment. Ferals really love blood and guts of other mammals, like rats gizzards and fowl brains. Milk is not good for them, blood is. x
