"God created the cat so that Man may know
the pleasure of  caressing the tiger."

Fernand Mery (1897 - 1984) French writer.

TOM CAT

He came in a box when he was a kitten,
We called him Tawny, and at once were smitten.
Tawny ruled our house, caught many a mouse,
Slept in anyone’s bed, broke crockery,
Clawed carpet and upholstery.
When screamed at simply cocked his ears,
And against all our fears,
He serviced every local feline.
How could we ever malign
Such a fine Tom Cat?

All his life he created endless commotion,
But always gave us excessive devotion.
And when at last his life was ended,
All his little sins amended,
We placed him again in a box one night,
Said a prayer by candle light,
And as a symbol of our cats desire,
We ignited his body with fire,
For he was such a fine Tom Cat.
