Thankful Cat Poem by Theresa Ann Moore

We have become very attached to him
He has a flair for dramatic dynamics
In a freak accident he dislocated a limb
No longer was he able to perform antics

The yellow pages directed us to find care
After a lengthily analysis it was decided
that he could be made well and repaired
He will get the best that can be provided

Confinement and medication from a dropper
caused him to drowsily curl up into a fur ball
With one leg bound up, he became a hopper
After he was freed from his wrap he crawled

Gradually he gained the confidence needed…
He grew stronger and bravely took a timid leap
With major success his status was not impeded
He held his stance and didn’t crumble into a heap

His wellness generates a sense of gratitude
as he jumps up into my lap he begins to purr
The volume increases with a grand magnitude
Nudging my hand, persuading me to pet his fur
