That's a beautiful poem but also a bit sad... What happened to Cat after that one summer if I may ask?

Thanks for sharing it! I'll post it on the website.

Sadly, Cat was stolen from us! He was just gone one day toward the end of summer, no trace of him anywhere. We thought he might have been hit or captured by a predator. He was a slender tabby with exquisite markings, and such a sweetheart, we all missed him.


The next spring, my brother happened to be visiting a friend way in the other end of town. As he was going slowly down the street, he saw him! Bigger, bulkier, but obviously him! He started to open his mouth to call him, but then noticed he was in a yard with lots of toys and some small children, and he knew that if he "restole" Cat, it would break those little boys' hearts, so he looked a little longer, and then drove away, glad that Cat at least had survived, had a good home and was keeping some little kids happy.

We figure someone saw him one day and just fell in love, his markings were really perfect, he should have been a show-cat! and Cat, being the friendly type, just walked over to that person, and he was wisked away. He had a collar and a flea collar, so he obviously belonged to someone, but they didn't care, I guess!
