I
adopted your cat
today.
The one you left at
the pound. The one you
had for ten years And
no longer wanted
around.

I adopted your cat
today.
Do you know he's lost
weight?
Do you know he's
scared and depressed
And has lost all
faith?

I adopted your cat
today.
He had fleas and a
cold,
But don't worry none.
You've unburdened your
load.

I adopted your cat
today.
Were you having a baby
or moving away?
Did you suddenly
develop allergies
Or was there no reason
he couldn't stay?

I adopted your cat
today.
He doesn't play or eat
much.
He's very depressed,
But he will learn
again to trust.

I adopted your cat
today
And here he will stay.
He's found his forever
home
And a warm bed to lay.

I adopted your cat
today
And I will give him
all that he could
need.
Patience, love,
security, and
understanding.
Hopefully he will
forget your selfish
deed.
