Reply to Ed Kostro's 'City Girl'
I once had a cat her name was Tiger A lovely fellow, fluffy black hair At homework she sat on my shoulder quiet And purred at night, next to my ear The priest at school said pets have no soul Yet Tiger's eyes were full of it Yellow-green shining, with love, gentle and sad My only true friend in ugly school days That's why one should always trust one's own observations and experiences even when clashing with so-called 'holy books'. (c) 2004 by Franz L. Kessler

Franz, we have always been a dog family, but my best friends family while I was growing up . the NJ shore had a Siamese cat name of Charlie Wong, he was the best. Would wrap himself around my neck laying on my shoulders and allow me to walk like thigh deep in the ocean with him just napping and purring...good memory, thanks for bringing it back to me...& thanks for so many great and funny reviews of late with regards my writes...Peace, Ed & Rufuz (w00f)

There are many beliefs. I liked your poem and agree that animals have souls :-)

The priest was wrong -- I'm certain -- I've shared my life with many pets over the years and all were blessings to me. Nice write!

Wonderful write Franz. On the contrary to the priest, I believe animals have an afterlife the same as we do,in Genesis ch 9 it tells how God breathed life into both human and animals into all things and we were given commands to care for them.

Wonderful tribute to your childhood friend, Franz.

Many of my good friends in childhood were animals; and I never believed the priests about that soul business either. Animals are often more compassionate and understanding than humans.
