I love my little kitty ......

I love my little kitty, she makes my house a home.
She always is my best friend, I never feel alone.
She makes me smile, she makes me laugh,
She fills my heart with love ...
Did some breeder breed her, or did she fall down from above?

I've never been a breeder, seen life through their eyes,
I hold my little kitty and just sit and criticise.
I've never known their anguish, I've never felt their pain,
The caring of their charges, through snow or wind and rain.

I've never sat the whole night through, waiting for babies to be born,
The stress and trepidation when they're still not there by dawn.
I've never felt the heartache, of a little life in my hands,
This darling little baby, who weighs but 60 grams.

Should you do that instead of this ....or this instead of that,
Alone you fight, and hope one day, he'll grow to be a cat,
and bring joy to another being, and make a house a home,
You know it's all just up to you, you'll fight this fight alone.

Formula, bottles, heating pads, you've got to get this right,
Two hourly feeds for this tiny guy, throughout the day and night.
In your heart you know, you're almost sure to lose the fight,
to save this little baby, but God willing ... you just MIGHT.

Day one he's in there fighting, you say a silent prayer,
Day two & three, he's doing well, with lots of love and care.
Day four & five ... he's still alive, your hopes soar to the heavens,
Day six he slips away again, dies in your hands day seven.

You take this little angel, and bury him alone,
With aching heart and burning tears, and an exhausted groan,
You ask yourself "Why do this? ... why suffer all this pain?"
But see the joy your kittens bring... it really self explains.

So, when you think of breeders and label them with "greed",
Think about what they endure to fill another’s need.
When you buy a kitten and with your precious dollars part,
You only pay with money ... we pay with our heart.

This poem which is anonymous says it all.

YILDIZ weighed 85g at birth and within 24 hours had dropped her weight to 55g. SHE WAS A VERY LUCKY KITTEN. To save the majority and allow mum to settle and feed, I had to make a choice. I had to let one slip away which was heart breaking…… he weighed 45g at birth and I was trying to save him. Mum then devoted her time to the remaining two and they thrived. If I had unlimited funds and room “my star” would have stayed here. ENFES YILDIZ translates from Turkish as DELIGHTFUL STAR - (DESTINY.) ***************************************
