We Buried Your Cat Today
~ Trish Blassingame ~

Once again, I had to bury your cat today.
Did you know he was gone?
Away from his home?
Will you shrug and say, "I'll get another"?
We cried over him as we buried your cat today.


He was so precious, gray, white and black,
With a tail as full and as gay.
You'd fed him well, treated him right, so why,
Did I have to bury him today?

But you let him out, to roam and be lost,
And he had no chance on our street.
Whatever hit him snapped him in two,
We buried your cat today.

Are you calling right now?
Searching and hunting?
Or will you just shrug it off and say,
"There's plenty of cats, we'll just get another."
Will we bury it too another day?

That sums up the way , that these idiots feel about everything , but thier pleasures! God Bless you for caring , I know how it felt , when I lost Gem, and Orangie! Poor Cats , in this Cold Cruel World!But our Lord , will make the Punishment Fit The Crime!

It's sad but true - some people just do not deserve to receive the love of animals, and other, more caring people, are left to clean up their mess! I always thinks "what goes around - comes around" and one day they will reap what they sow!!!

How sad but horribly true. Poems like these should be posted all over shelters and other places where people obtain precious pets..

Jan,

Thank you SO much for posting that. The minute I started reading it, I thought of Sweet Dude.

The words are very sad and true.
