SAFE & WELL FED
It wasn’t there,
the big one,
when the four smaller creatures,
animated and noisy,
carried me away
to my new home
When we arrived
it was there
towering above me
like a tree with giant paws
it showed big teeth
I thought i was a goner
Leaning over me
it stroked me behind the ears
wow that felt good!
it didn’t hurt me
but made softer, deeper noises
than the smaller creatures
In my new home
I always have food, water
and plenty other curious things
to chew
one that makes me tingle all over
when I bite it through
The bigger creatures make loud noises
when I chew on some things
THUMPER NO!
and they take it away
the giant one
brings me tasty, crunchy things to chew
Two furry creatures, my size,
live here too
they have long tails, sharp teeth and claws
sometimes they drink my water
when they come too near I THUMP!
the bigger creatures come running
My home has turned light and then dark
many, many, many times
I hurt too much to hop anymore
my back paws don't work
I can only turn in a circle
to find food and water
I fear being eaten by the others
but they don’t visit anymore
the giant one lifts me up
makes me lay more comfortably
making long, soft, beautiful noises
then I am not afraid
I can’t make many noises
never had to complain
but tonight I know something is wrong
the giant one passes me by
as loud as I can I say PLEASE STAY!
startled it turns and then sits beside me
I lay flat now
staring at the big ones face
it strokes my fur and makes tender noises
“it’s okay Thumper bunny, it’s okay you can go”
I am so happy for the company
all is dark now the pain is gone

Congrats to everyone. Winners all around.
ML, Kitty Heaven must be a great place. Imagine a place where cat nip flows like water, the food bowls are never empty and the litter boxes are always clean of poop. I know it's sad that she's gone but now Chloe is ageless and eternal.
