Ok now have shed buckets and have my loyal band of the hopeless ones here in the study all those unhomebale ferals who have slowly crept in when we have lost someone or when noone else would give them a home- oh and a bucket load of treats

MY LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT

I too, would make a Will if I could write
To some poor, wistful, lonely stray
I leave my happy home
My dish, my cosy bed, my cushioned chair, my toy.
The well loved lap, the gentle stroking hand, the loving voice
The place I made on someone's heart.
the love that at the last
Could help me to a peaceful, painless end, held in loving arms.
If I should die
Oh, do not say
"No more a cat I'll have to grieve me by it's loss"
Seek out a lonely, unloved cat and give my place to him.
This is my legacy.
The love I leave behind.
T'is all I have to give.

Margaret Trowton

[Michelle (furbabystar)]

aw thanks WC but thats not the one 

its written from a cat that has died (or is dieing) telling its owner to give a home to another cat

[Wibblechick]

Stray Cat.
Oh, what unhappy twist of fate-
Has brought you homeless to my gate?
The gate where once another stood
To beg for shelter, warmth and food.
From that day I ceased to be
The Master of my Destiny
While he, with purr and velvet paw
Became within my house, the Law.
He scratched the furniture and shed,
And claimed the middle of my bed,
He ruled with Arrogance and Pride.
And broke my heart the day he died.
So if you really think, Oh Cat
I`d willingly relive all that
Because you come, forlorn and thin
Well....Don`t just stand there. Come on In.

Francis Witham.

Is it this one ?

[Michelle (furbabystar)]
