A huge pile of rubbish,
Just dumped on the land,
How they think it can’t hurt it,
I don’t understand,
It’s smelly and dirty
And so clearly not good,
But this my dear reader,
Is my ‘neighbourhood’.
An unwanted present,
A rash Christmas gift,
And now my existence,
Is destined for this.
Life on the scrap heap
Is my destiny,
Unless you take pity
And come rescue me…
Come here tomorrow,
Come here even sooner,
Please bring some milk,
And a nice bowl of tuna,
You know you want me,
A nice little cat,
Who’ll turn from an alley-,
Into an aristoc(r)at!
I’ll repay you in spades,
If you give me affection,
Love you and cherish my
World free from rejection.
I’m just a small creature,
With oodles to give,
If you, in return,
Give me somewhere to live…
I don’t ask for much,
Just to not be alone,
And to have somewhere
I can truly call home.
This photo has been going the rounds on the web. The trick is to try to find the little black and white cat that is doomed to live on this rubbish heap. Good luck finding the cat and taking her/him home with you!

I love this, I don’t love the fact so many animals are dumped, reading this makes me cry ( as you know) I am so glad we have always given good homes and a happy life to all the animals we’ve been blessed with since I was a wee lass. Orlando was dumped, how could they have? Still our gain, he is a joy if a bit of a loon 🙂 xx
Thank you darling. For all those poor animals who have a bad start in life there are many who find wonderful futures like our boy did…
Wonderful poem to all those abandoned souls. So much to love.
Thanks Carol
Sorry… I am one of those who is still angry with Noah- he should have brought the unicorns and left the cats!
Not a cat man, eh?
Caro, you made me cry. I found the kitten. I love cats and dogs, but we are at our limit. We would love to bring all the lost ones home. But we can’t.
Thanks Ann. I knnow, we feel the same.
Well I can’t find the flippin’ cat but I hear your message! My daughter has signed up for volunteering at our local shelter and hopefully can help get some of our local strays a new home!
It is on the left of the picture! Good for your daughter!
I shared on Twitter and Facebook. I am proud to call several animal rescuers “friends”. It is a draining (and expensive) process.
Thank you Alana. Our lovely boy was used as a football…
I must be still asleep this morning, I can’t see a cat…My daughters want a cat, but I wouldn’t know what to do with it during the holidays…
