The windowsill
by charley
I jumped with surprise when the cat meowed,
it was sitting on my kitchen windowsill.
I went outside to see.
And, I found a kitty, lost in this world.
He looked taken care of so I left him alone.
And, charley wanted to chase him into the road.
He came back last night and sat on the sill.
Meowing over and over again.
I picked him up and noticed that he had no claws.
This made him more unsafe in the crazy world.
Can you imagine throwing out your cat that has nothing to protect itself with?
This is kind of how I have feel, all by myself.
So, now this kitty resides with me.
We are alone, without claws in this dangerous world.
I couldn't shut my door to this cat.
There's a message to be learnt and that's a fact.
For all you people, who de-claw your cats...I hope you understand that you've taken on a responsibility of a living thing...
But when the thing becomes a problem, you throw it away.
I hope that it will haunt you today.
