Found kitty abandoned

PURR

I brought him home when he had been left

all alone in this world.

He was six months old.

He was cold.

And he was hungry,

Somehow he knew I did care.

But all he did was purr.



Almost an all-black cat, there he sat.

With a twinkle in his eye,

Perhaps because he had one white spot that

Looked just like a bow-tie.

On his left paw was a spot of white fur.

But all he did was purr.



The days when I needed his purr,

He sat beside me on a chair,

Washing his face and watching mine,

Waiting for my touch,

Simply filled with joy as my hand drew near.

Then he really did purr.



We moved away and he hid under the porch,

Not wanting to know where we went,

If we left for good reasons or had been sent.

Weeks later we called the new home owner,

And were told he just sat there in the chair.

But all he would do is purr.
