Katie, the cat

Katie, the cat we got as a stray,

because she had no place to stay.

I was five and Katie was about two,

I got to see all the amazing things she could do.

She would jump over high fences, jump really high,

catch things that ran fast and things in the sky.

A white cat with two different eyes,

one blue and one green a surprise!

I learned later a turkish angora was she,

so if she had two blue eyes deaf she would be.

She really was amazing and friendly it's true,

and when she passed away in Feb. 2002 I was blue.

See she wasn't only a cat, but a good friend.

So Katie will live on in my memory till the end.
