Adoption Blues Pam, I am still bawling! So when did you have Sherman over to dictate this story? ;-)I can imagine this story is repeated a dozen times a day every day at every shelter. Heartbreaking. You did a beautiful job of writing. -- CATherine |

Pam, very well written and moving. You could meat it out a little (unless you have a word limit for your class) with more of Sherman's experiences before being rescued. You know, the more bad experiences, the more moving the end will be. -- Marina, Miranda and Caliban.

ink.net... Ok kids, Rob says that this is one of my best writing efforts. I;m rather proud of it, but I want your opion and/or to brag about my work. So don't be kind, tell me what you think. Pam S. Adoption Blues Nameless (any cat in a shelter): SHUT UP IN THERE!! Kittens! You’d think they were worried. Kittens always get adopted. It’s us older cats that have to worry. Hey You! You know you want to adopt me. I’m older, adorable, and know how to use a litter box. I don’t run around getting into as much as a kitten would. I’m clean (immaculately so), smart, and beautiful. Hey, you, with the long yellow fur! You need a loyal companion, you know you do. The reason I’m here is that my human was allergic, well the first one was. Ah Jessica, you were so young and so loving. I would have stayed with you forever if they’d let me. Your parents decided that it would be worse to give you shots than to give me away. So they did . . . to a person they’d met in a grocery store. I was just a kitten, but I remember, oh how I remember. I thought my heart would never mend. SHUT UP YOU STUPID KITTENS! You don’t know how much humans can hurt you. After Jessica, there was Brian. The people from the grocery store gave me to him less than a week after they got me. They said I was depressing. Brian was a college student. I loved to sit on his lap while he was at the computer or studying. He was kind and I learned so much from him and his friends. Then he left for the summer. I hung around his apartment for a long time waiting for him to come back. He never did. I SAID SHUT UP. There, quiet for the moment. Kittens. I didn’t love Brian anyway. You! Hey you! I know you’re a college student. I know how to behave in an apartment. You need a friend. I’d be a good friend, honest. I’m loyal. I’ll be your friend if you’ll be mine. They say that I only have three days to find some one. Then it’s the Rainbow Bridge, buddy. Kitty heaven for those who don’t know better. Dog lover. After I was chased away from Brian’s apartment building, I wandered around the neighborhood. I met a sweet little calico, man she was delicious. I think I fathered three kittens with her. Three of them looked like me. She chased me off after they were born. I guess I gave up after that. The dog catcher had no problems catching me. I was so hungry. FOR THE LAST TIME, SHUT UP! Man, I’m so tired. Wait a minute. I thought I had two more days. Please don’t take me out of here. I’m a good cat. I’m soft, clean, and loyal. No! Not that room. That’s the end place. I don’t want to die. Look, lady. Don’t pet me if you’re going to murder me. Please, I don’t want to scratch anyone, but I’m scared. That pointy thing smells yucky,. Please don’t kill me! Am I at the bridge? No, it smells like the end place. What does this mean? I’m confused. I’m warm, clean smelling (except for the yucky smell), and they’re bringing a box over here. Does this mean that I have an only home? Wait a minute. It’s that yellow furred human I saw the other day. REPRIEVE! I have an only home. I’m going to be one of the few lucky ones! What’s your name cutie? I love you already. You can call me whatever you want. Sherman? I love it already. I promise I won’t eat your plants, get on your counters, tear up your furniture, scratch your friends, sit in front of your computer monitor or bring any other cats in to live with you. Just love me enough to keep me forever, pet me, and keep me in kibble, and I won’t ever leave you. Oh Pam, I wasn't just crying, I was *sobbing out loud*. That was *SO* touching. I think it will break the hearts of even those who aren't cat slaves. -- Hugs, CatNipped See all my masters at: http://www.PossiblePlaces.com/CatNipped/ |

In article .com,
wrote: What she said! Not only is it beautifully written and heart-wrenching, but it empahsizes the philosophy I developed the first time I went to the shelter. I was looking for a cat that had disappeared. I knew that if he didn't show up, I'd get another. I noticed the way people were making a fuss over the kittens, while beautiful adult cats were neglected. Same with me. I wanted an adult cat, not a kitten, and I wanted a boy. However, Rita had been transferred from another shelter already in an attempt to find her a home, and I just couldn't let a beautiful girly like her go unhomed. Best decision of my life.
