Thanks Richard.......
I know I get a li'l sappy once in a while, but the truth is what it is......
I prayed for weeks thet Charcoal would come back to ya, and I prayed for weeks afterward thanking Him that kitty was back.....
It really meant a lot to me.....I know how I felt when my Squirrel kitty escaped the house and was lost to me for a couple of weeks....devastated.....

So......when I write these little kittie poems, I know whereof I speaketh........

I am sorry folks........
But my kitty muse got the best of me and I wrote another kitty poem......
I hope that all who are not so kitty-esqe will forgive me.....please.

Here ya go.......



The Shadow kitties...by msattler.....


There are some in the hours twixed the mornin' and moonin'
that sometimes have thoughts 'bout little critters all gloomin'.
The little feets that silently crawl in the darkness
and don't have a place that's their home just like ours is.

It's the little paws I'm talking 'bout to you here today folks,
The little paws sneaking about in the darkness.
The kitties who have all long since abandoned their safe nest
and are left all alone to sneak 'round in the darkness.

You don't hear them them cry and you seldom hear them whimper
But the kitties that hide all alone in the winter
are always there to hear if you but give a close listen...
Those kitties who's lives start out as a lost kitten.

They are cute, so they say, when seen walking the street.
Those little cute kittens walking 'bout on little feet.
But the truth soon it dawns on those litte cute paws
'cuz they have no home to call theirs like we all have ours.

So they wander and try to come up with a meal
and try to find someplace where maybe they'd feel
that THIS is the place where they maybe belong
and perhaps they could stay here their whole happy life long.

But alas they soon find out that it just isn't true,
and they don't have a home, not like me, not like you.
They are just homeless kitties, far away from their nest.
And have no place left to call home like the rest.

If your heart has a soft spot like I know that my own does,
perhaps you could find a warm spot for one of these poor homeless...
A kitty asks little from you in return friend,
for a warm spot to sleep and some kibble they'd earn and,

They'd luv you so much in return for their keeping
that nowhere on earth could you ever be sleeping
with a heart true and loving like a kitty that you've kept
from sleeping out there all alone in the darkness....

The shadow kitties, I'm afraid they will always be out there.
Waiting for someone like you to and I to give their care.
They won't knock your door, and they won't call your phone,
but the shadow kitties wait out there, and they're all alone.

If you've ever walked past a li'l kitten lookin' at you in the silence
and wondered why it is they've no home like yours is and mine is,
Take time once to ponder a life that's a bit tragic
and think how you could make their little lives a bit magic.

The shadow kitties are waiting for you in the shelters.
They yearn for a life much like mine is and like yours is.
No more sleeping in corners hidden 'way in the darkness,
But a warm spot to cuddle up with you in a safe nest.

I know I have expressed my love of kitties many times from the start,
but I walked past one yesterday that just broke my heart.
She was sittling there all by herself in the cold snow,
and could not understand a little love I would show.

As I held out to her little cold paws with my hand
and wanted to love her, she could not understand.
So run off she did, back alone to who where knows..
To shiver and cry all alone in the shadows.

Our lives are so much longer than the life of a kitten,
And they give back so much consid'ring what they are given.
Please ponder a life of in the world of the shadows.
And what you could give kitties with the love you and I know.

Please save a shadow kitty........

If I had the money I would adopt more lovable kitties... but as I do not have that extra money, I cannot...
Zazo & Sonar already stretch my budget a bit... How I would love a third kitty...

You do not have to aplogize for that which you cannot do......
Your desire to do more places you above many....
