The Forgotten Cat

“... and tonight’s temperatures will again be below freezing. Snow is in the forecast, starting tonight with accumulations of 1 to 3 inches...”

I was put out this morning
I was left out all day
I want to come in now
Find a warm place to lay

I’m cold and I’m hungry
My paw pads are numb
Where are my people?
I wish they would come!

I mew at the windows
I yowl at the door
Why can’t they hear me?
I wish I could roar!

A cold breeze is blowing
There’s snow in the air
My ear tips are frozen
Do they really care?

I sit in the darkness
I shiver and shake
How much of this coldness
Can my body take?

I was found the next morning
Curled up on the mat
A victim of cruelty
Just another dead cat.
