Merry Catmas To All The Cat~People Of Amy's Place!


Gifts





I was part of an odd and sadly growing situation
One where I had no essential initial participation
Where to save time, the oft mentioned "Middle Man" was cut out
And offset the balance of my Relationship, without a doubt
For I was The Middle Man and was not given a voice
Of just who would be My Human, a most intimate choice

"Oh, Shelly will just love her!" I heard my first Pretty One say
Over and over before I was a Kitten unwrapped on the last Present Day
And to give my first Pretty One credit, she was right
Though it wasn't a perfect example of love at first sight
We were good friends for quite a wonderful while
Until the following Warm Time when I was considered out of style

When I learned to live on my Instincts, cleverness and guile
To curl up under a tall tree that kept me from the falling snow
I see a House not far away and am drawn close by its glow
I've seen its Little Pretty One and her Family in the yard building Snow Men
Something my first Family never did, a promising Omen

Now that the Sun has been down, I've decided to glide up to a window
To see The Little Pretty One napping by the Fireplace's warm, inviting glow
A few scratches on its glass brings The Little Pretty One eyes open wide
A mutual and decision is made as the window begins to glide
The Little Pretty One lifts me up and warmth surrounds my fur
My new Family watches as she hugs me close to share a life long purr!
