Cats

What do you complain about the most?

Have sixteen adults,

Six kittens,

Took them nine in to help a friend,

No furnace for two years,

Her cats and dog slept around electric heaters,

Pretty bird was always covered,

He saw nothing,

His cage at the top of the cellar steps got cold if not covered,

The cage sat on the washing machine by the bathroom,

Near the back door,

The cage sat between the bathroom and the kitchen,

The white cat is Lou Lou Penny Martin’s cat,

Orange cat is my Theodore,

Penny has given away two of leaving seven adults,

Lewis was the father of fourteen litters,

Cared for kittens most lived many died,

We took fourteen to Dubuque,Iowa Human Shelter,at a cost of one hundred and fifty dollars,

Three didn’t get there yet,

Why,because Penny told the woman we only had ten left,

But we had thirteen kittens,

We still have more to go but I have to earn the money,

Penny’s male Lewis is set up to get fixed finally Feb 12th in morning,

CowboyJen from TicToc and her followers are paying for it,

I had expected all her cats had been fixed,

My carpet is totaled,

Never enough litter boxes,

Never enough litter,

Last summer at one time I had forty cats in my single wide,

I have more grey now than before,

I came to the conclusion,

I rescued her nine cats,Pretty bird and the thirty nine year old box turtle, because they needed me not because finally had a new friend,

See on the twenty ninth of December twenty twenty two Penny’s pipes burst and her upstairs toilet cracked,

I stayed there last Christmas day,

The house was ten below zero,

Breath froze in the very air surrounding us,

Penny drove home from Waterloo,Iowa and sat outside the house and slept more,

Cricket her little dog spent a sleepless night,

I was there to make sure no one froze to death,

I did that job,

I don’t regret saving these lovely cats,

I hate my walls scratched,

I hate I spent a year unable to accomplish buying more books to sell,

Writing more,

Extra money went for cat food and litter,

Anger grew in my heart with someone I thought I knew,

Someone who always made me smile and feel blessed after seeking so long for a friend,

Penny always acted like I should use being poor for free,

I loath poverty,

I rather earn by the sweat of my brow,

Buy quality,

Quality like with people always comes with a cost,

Quality always is pricy,

Just because we are not rolling in money,

Doesn’t mean our standards are not high,

Saving Pennies cats I did for them and me,

Not for Penny,

Penny even with my offer to assist her find a home so she could take some of her cats back is still living in a motel
