Dear Old Monty

“I love cats because I love my home,

And after a while,

They become its visible soul.”

 

Jean Cocteau

 

 

 

He found me, when I was on a business trip

Now many years ago, down in Montgomery

He befriended me, when I was feelin down

So, I snuck him on the plane home with me

 

He has been with us now, for all these years

He is such a very sweet and loving old feline

But lately, he’s just not been feeling very well

He never complains, but I knew he wasn’t fine

 

So I took him to our veterinarian’s office

They’ve confirmed, our Monty is quite ill

He’s been diagnosed with Feline Diabetes

And he can’t be cured, with just some pills

 

Our dear old Monty, now needs insulin shots

We have to give him two injections, every day

But our dear old Monty, is such a stoic trooper

I’m smilin again as I watch dear old Monty play

 

And someone I know, just asked me yesterday

Why I’m even bothering – old Monty's just a pet

Dear old Monty is so much more; he’s my friend

And neither one of us, has abandoned the other yet

 

 

©2009, Mr. Ed

 

 

And if you would like to know

How old Monty and I first met,

His posted story is linked below;

To me, he’s far more than ‘just a pet.’
   The Tale of Montgomery Outback

I understand your heart on this one, Ed, as I'm experiencing the ill health with my PoohPooh. As you, I know tender-loving-care is a profound medication for our pets

Dearest brother Ed, your friend is just as important as anyone of us for the relationship you have shared these many years is far more than many of us have with each other. If only some people would realize this, they might be inclined to have a pet friend too. Both of you are in mmy prayers, and my tears...

Love
sis, tiger lily.

Still out there in this era of enlightenment people asking why we bother? I thought that dinosaurs were extinct millions of years ago.
