 | | Did some breeder breed her, or did she fall down from above?
|
| |
|
| | I've never been a breeder, or seen life through their eyes,
|
| | I hold my little kitty and just sit and criticize.
|
| | 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.
|
| | Bringing joy to another being, and make a house a home,
|
| | You know now it's all up to you, and you'll fight this fight alone.
|
| |
|
| | Formula, bottles, heating pads, you've just 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 slowly slips away, dies in your hands day seven.
|
| |
|
| | You take this little angel, and bury him alone,
|
| | With aching heart and burning tears, sigh an exhausted groan.
|
| | You ask yourself "Why even do this? ... Why suffer all this pain?"
|
| | But to see the joy your kittens bring... It really self explains.
|
| |
|
| | So, when you think of breeders and label them all with "greed",
|
| | Think about what they endure to simply fill another's need.
|
| | When you buy a kitten and with your precious dollars do part,
|
| | Please keep in mind you pay with money ... Breeders' pay with their hearts.
