Title: this just about says it all
Post by: fuzziesdad on January 10, 2007, 20:50:58 PM

saw this today and thought it says it all
 >:(
roger
I adopted your cat today.
The one you left at the pound.
The one you had for ten years
and no longer wanted around.

I adopted your cat today.
Do you know he's lost weight?
Do you know he's scared and depressed
and has lost all faith?

I adopted your cat today.
He had fleas and a cold,
but don't worry --
You've unburdened your load.

I adopted your cat today.
Were you having a baby or moving away?
Did you suddenly develop allergies
or was there no reason he couldn't stay?

I adopted your cat today.
He doesn't play or eat much.
He's very depressed,
but he will learn again to trust.

I adopted your cat today
and here he will stay.
He's found his forever home
and a warm bed to lay.

I adopted your cat today
and I will give him all that he could need.
Patience, love, security, and understanding.
Hopefully, he will forget your selfish deed.

Absolutely wonderful poem. Says what a lot of people feel when witnessing the emotional upset caused to a cat who has lost it's trust in humans.

Thansk for sharing, FuzziesDad.
