That cat is a CHUB!!

I think it's the neon sign that says "OPEN 24 hrs." that sucks them in!

Richard,I think its the series of signs, not unlike the Burma Shave Signs of yore.
An Old Shaving Cream,that advertised years ago,with signs posted along the Highway.
If You are Hungry
And have Nothing to eat
The Fat Balding Geezer
Will give you a nice tasty Treat
The Found Cat Hotel turns noone away
So come and gobble,drive your hunger away.
And No Cat Goes Hungry here.

Gary,

She's sweet looking. She MUST be someone's pet, being so "SVELTE". But, as RICHARD said, it must be the neon sign that attracts them.

Since I moved into my apt. in CT, there are 2 strays I named Mamacita and Sonny, that I share feeding responsibilities with. I'll try to get pictures of them this weekend. Mamacita is a beautiful long-haired grey and white with an eat notch (meaning she's been spayed). Sonny, her baby, is black with a round head and a white spot on the side of his back end. They do let me pet them but are a bit skittish.

We still have some of those signs near Ft. Wayne Indiana.

LOVE your poem Gary
