Once rejected and death threatened
Sixteen years pass
Theavery and Tearing
Snatching
of Bread and Brisket
Chasing
Pouncing
Fighting and Spitting
Claiming the pile of catnip
Roll in the grass and
Sun on the concrete
Thunderous purr when you see me
Sleep in your spot
Thank you for staying
Know that I love you
and you will not be forgot
