I’m not sure if she’s a stray, or abandoned, or if this lovely lady is just a six-dinner Sid.

She sits and waits for me
To meet and greet me
When I come home.
She’ll arch her back
And purr a bit,
Till I fill her dish.

I’d let her in;
But I worry
That she isn’t mine
But belongs somewhere
And is just stopping by
To share her time.

She’s growing tubby
In the middle,
She seems fit
As any fiddle…
I hope that
She’s just getting fat.

Is there a law
Gainst spaying
A neighbor’s cat?

    Sadly there is a law against spaying the neighbor’s pet. We got too many dogs in this neighborhood cause the neighbor has not spayed their dog.
    Nice looking cat, enjoyed the read.

    You,re such a kind soul. I do the same thing with dogs. We tried to adopt a senior dog from our vet today, but the meet and greet with our dogs did not go well. We had a dog fight between Kole and the other dog and Katie growled whenever the other dog got close to Craig. Katie is Craig’s babygirl, while Kole is more my buddy. I feel bad but I have to make sure my dogs have and keep their safe home to, but I really wanted to adopt this dog, he was so sweet with humans but not other dogs. Sorry, got off subject, good story and I love the pictures.

    Pretty cat, nice pics, enjoyed the poem. Suspect the spaying cometh too late.

    You are a kind soul! I too take in strays – my own cats are spayed, but the last stray we took in rewarded us with six kittens. But I am sure that your univited guest is only growing healthy from your food.

    She looks like one we trapped at our apt. for my granddaughter. I don’t believe a kitty cat could walk all the way from Georgia to your house though.
