Boots, killed by a heartless human Feb 19, 2021

'It was just a cat', my friends tell me
'You'll get another one, you'll see, '
But what other pet could e'er replace
my own sweet cat's bewhiskered face?

What cat could imitate his purr
when lovingly I stroked his fur?
What other cat could e'er reside
within my heart and by my side?

Could another cat give me such joy
when I watched him playing with a toy?
Would a different cat give me such bliss
when he gave me his sandpaper kiss?

I know a cat's life is all too brief
but when he dies it causes grief
it makes you wonder through your pain.
'Could I ever love a cat again?

In time you'll find another who
will win your heart and love you too.
He will become a treasured friend
and help your grieving heart to mend.
