JUST A CAT......
from time to
time people tell me "lighten up, its just a cat" or "that's
a lot of money for just a cat"
"They don't
understand the distance travelled, the time spent, or the
costs involved for "just a cat". Some of my proudest moments
have come about with "just a cat" Many hours have passed and
my only company was "just a cat" but i did not feel slighted.

and dreams of the future, the fond memories of the past, the
pure joy of the moment "Just a cat" brings out what is good
in me and diverts my thoughts away from myself and the
worries of the day. I hope that someday they can understand
that it's not "just a cat" but things that give me humanity
and keeps me from being "Just a human
