TOSSED CAT

FIRST THERE WAS ONE, SOON JOINED TO MAKE TWO, THE PERSON WHO DID IT, THOUGHT THEY WERE THROUGH
I WASN'T SUPRISED THE CAT POPULATION GREW.
KITTENS BORN SICKLY, DISEASED, EVEN DEAD, BUT STILL THE COLONY SPREAD.
NEIGHBORS AWARE OF FIV SHED, "STARVE THEM ALL!, THEY SAID.
MANY MORE KITTENS AND LEUKIEMIA AHEAD,
INHERITED HOUSE, I MOVED IN RIGHT AWAY. I'LL CARE FOR MY OWN BUT NOT TURN AWAY. BEFRIENDED AND WELCOME THE FERROS CAN STAY,. FIRST TO THE VET FOR SHOTS AND SPAY. RETURN AND RELEASE IS THE HUMANE WAY, FOR MY FAMILY OF FERROS, NO LONGER AFRAID.
THE NEIGHBORS ARE FURIOUS WITH ALL I HAVE DONE, " OUT OF AREA SHE SHOULD BE RUN, WITH ALL OF THOSE CATS THAT WE NOW SHUN." YES, I'LL CLAIM THE COLONY THAT STARTED AS ONE.
I'LL FEED THEM AND LOVE THEM AS IF THEY WERE MINE, BECAUSE THE NEIGHBORS DON'T HAVE THE TIME. ON FERRO CAT CONTROL THEY'VE NOT SPENT A DIME. OH!, HOW I GREIVE FOR THE FIRST CAT ... JUST TOSSED ASIDE. WHY HAVE THE NEIGHBORS MADE THE PROBLEM MINE? WHO TOSSED THE FIRST CAT BY THE SIDE? L. MILLER 2005
