Prayer Poem for Cats

[Catty1]

I just sent this to a PT who is grieving her baby. I also sent it to my priest and his family when dear old Woody had to be put down at age 16.

I send it in hopes it might add some healing to someone who needs it.

Poem For Cats

And God asked the feline spirit
Are you ready to come home?
Oh, yes, quite so, replied the precious soul
And, as a cat, I am most able
To decide anything for myself

Are you coming then? asked God.
Soon, replied the whiskered angel
But I must come slowly.
For my human friends are troubled.
For you see, they need me, quite certainly.

But don't they understand? asked God
That you'll never leave them?
That your souls are intertwined for all eternity?
That nothing is created or destroyed?
It just is...forever and ever and ever.

Eventually they will understand,
Replied the glorious cat.
For I will whisper into their hearts
That I am always with them
I just am...forever and ever and ever.

That certainly makes me feel better over the needless passing of My Porchie Mr Scratchy.
It will be a comfort to know that his Angel is still there,as always and he can still enjoy the food that I leave out for him.
He was a Good Cat,in the wrong place sadly,at the wrong time.

Yes, Gary - but how wonderful that for so much of his life, he was in the right place, at YOUR place!
