The Cat's Tale

by D   Jul 23, 2004


A meowing from outside, so I went to see
The neighbour’s cat brought a gift to me
A poor little kitten, a few days old
Little sad eyes and shivering with cold.

I wasn’t surprised, as this had happened before
But I always took them back to the neighbour’s door
They took them and tomorrow they would give them away
So this time this kitten was here to stay

At least 'till it was old enough to be found a new home
I had a cat allergy, so couldn’t have one of my own
Days turned to weeks, little Mindy put on weight
She made me smile, she made me laugh, this little cat was ...great

Over a year later she's still here with me
I just couldn’t let her go, you see?
Black & grey stripes, little paws of white
For a half-starved, frozen kitten, she's turned out all right

Turns out, little Mindy the cat is allergic to fish
She lives well on the chicken pieces put in her dish.
Me? I'm on allergy pills every single day
But I love my cat, and wouldn’t have it any other way.
