DECLAWED CATS IN HEAVEN

KIZZY
As anyone who read my posting on PoC last year will know, I miss my darling chocolate brown Persian little man "Kizzy" more than I can ever say.
There is not an hour when I do not think of him, nor a night when I do not hear his miow or feel him jump onto my bed.
I talk to him all the time, and when times are hard, as they often are, I seek his counsel. When I think of how happy he was and the full and happy life he led it makes me grateful that I live in England, and that none of my babies will ever end up in shelters because they have been let down by me.
I have penned a poem on the little chap's behalf, he was the most wonderful poet you know, and this is for all the little ones that have been abused, by the people who are supposed to love them the most. Their owners.
A Message from Heaven
Dear Mam, I miss you xx
I have seen so many things here,
I did not want to see,
Grass as green as emeralds,
Sky as blue as sea.
But I have seen some things
That are not so good,
They have made me sad inside,
I know if you saw them Mam,
They would surely make you cry.
There are little cats of every age,
And many cannot walk,
Some of them are now so scared,
They do not even talk.
I have asked among the others,
If they can tell me why it's so,
I met dear Grandma Ebby, who said
"Kiz do you want to know?"
So I sat and duly listened
To the tale she had to tell
To me it sounds like all those cats,
Came from a living hell.
When owners loved their sofas,
Their drapes and wooden doors,
So they could keep them pristine,
They'd cut off their poor cats claws.
As if that was not bad enough,
It damages their toes,
With blood and pain and damaged joints,
Their lives were full of woes.
The poor wee things then misbehave,
"No wonder" is what I say,
If we cut off every human toes,
They would not last a day,
So many of these cats end up,
Abandoned and misplaced,
Then when an angel picks them up,
It is a saving grace.
It's time the humans understand,
That ALL cats come with claws,
And if you dont, DONT have a cat,
Just polish your stupid doors.
