In Memory of a Beautiful "Ugly" Cat

























I saw you many months ago at one end of a block of flats.
You wanted to go near two ladies but they stomped their feet to "scare" you offf.
You were an "easy" catch for sterilization.
Some time after you were released back at your block, you migrated to the adjacent block.
I can still "see" you sitting in the void deck licking your paws.
You were fussy, preferring only wet food.
So I avoided you when I only have dry food with me otherwise you would follow me for a long distance.
You made the most charming voice when you "speak" - ek ek ek ek
So I named you Squeakee.

As sudden as you had come,
As sudden you were gone.

Perhaps you had finished your task in this realm -
To make some of us look at your with our heart and not our eyes.
To see the beauty in your ugliness.
To love you despite your ugliness.

Where-ever you are, you will always occupy a part of our heart.
