She came to the house one cold winter's night

and cried at the door to get in

I peeked out the window to see what was there

at this sad little bundle, so meowing and thin

She was soggy and wet, a pitiful sight

two popped out eyes and grey fur

she was shivering and cold, and I knew she was hungry

and I felt really sorry for her

I did not want a cat, but what could I do

I just couldn't let her stay there

outside my door, shivering and cold

for to me, that didn't seem fair

I opened the door, she politely waiked in

and then she  looked up to me as to say

I don't have a home and I really could use one

and I'm hoping that you'll just let me stay

A bowl of warm milk, she devoured at once

then she started in softly to purr

 she was warmed by the fire, and her tummy was full

and I wondered what next would occur

And as I sat by the fire, in my own comfy chair 

she crawled up beside me for a nap

well, I looked at her then, so fluffy and clean

and I thought, What a cute little cat

But lo and behold, she jumped down from my chair

then she walked straight to the door

she looked back and cried, then patiently waited

just like she had done once before

I let her out and then went off to bed

and I thought of her, t'was the last I would see

then a commotion so loud, woke me up in the night

I think it was along about three

My heart leaped in my throat,and I jumped to the floor

and turned on the light for to see

I looked out the window, and thought to myself

my goodness, this just cannot be

for there sat the cat, so calm and serene

right in front of the door

but this time she brought family, and I think to stay

as I looked at her kittens, numbering four

Well, now we're a family, now we are six

the cat, four kittens and me

so I buy their cat food, bathe each of them

and most often, I'm searching for flea's

So if you hear a scratch on the door, late at night

good heavens, just let it be

it may be a stray cat, and all of her babies

and they'll be hungry, just take it from me
