Noel
Noel came to adopt us for a bit,
She came without a name,
But came with desperate need.
Noel was so very skinny,
And oh so hungry, too.
She ate and ate then purred her gratitude,
Curling up by the heater to sleep.
Within a day she ruled the house,
Put the dogs in their place,
And picked her spot,
Keeping the other cats in theirs.
Noel only stayed a few days,
But long enough to create a bond.
She was just too thin I am afraid,
For noel passed on and I am sorry to her,
For humanities cruel neglect.

Peace,
Dayvid
that we're living in a new Dark Ages.
I hope Noel is now an Aristocat in the Palace of Well-Fed Kitties!
Merry Xmas, Karen!

At least you gave her some comfort and love before she was called on.
Tender poem with a very sad ending.
Peace, love and light,
Amber
This is so heartbreaking. I was hoping at first she would become yours. But the last stanza is so full of cruel reality. I'm sorry for your terrible loss and what would have been a wonderful friendship.
