We could continue that song ....

It starts

I know I'm not a kitten
I know I'm sorta fat
But if you will adopt me
I'll be your loving cat

I maybe kinda big now
But way down deep inside
I'm still a little kitten
Who needs love to survive

I have down in my heart
Much love to give to you
And purrs that heal the baddest day
So adopt me, please, take me away!

I know I'm not a kitten
I know I'm sorta fat
But if you will adopt me
I'll be your loving cat

There's more of me to love
I know that much is true
But as much love as you give to me
I'll give back double, 'tis true!

I may be older
And not as cute
But trust me, human
I'm more astute

I'll help you each and every day
If you'll just take me, take me away
I promise my love for you''ll be true ...
Until then I'll sing my shelter cat blues

[Karen]

I don' need no fancy ride home
In a big ol' Caddilac
I've got no fancy pedigree
No need to look for that

Don't need no crystal water glass
No need to splurge for that
Don't need no velvet cushion
I just prefer a lap.

Don't know quite how I got here
Don't care now, anyhow
Just stuck here in the shelter
Nothin' to do but yowl;

I know I'm not a kitten
I know I'm sorta fat
But if you will adopt me
I'll be your loving cat

I feel so sad when I go by the adoption center at PetsMart and see all those Cats who are only a few years old and are sitting there in their cages praying for a miracle and a FurrEver Home.
If only I could take them all home , but there would be new faces the next week.:(:(:(

Totally AWESOME! I find the older kitties to be every bit as cute as kittens. When the time comes to adopt another kitty companion, I won't think twice about welcoming an older kitty into my home and my life if I'm lucky enough to have one choose me to be his new Meowmie.
