Big Paws, Big Heart-poem
61
Ruffy
With long, orange hair,
Ruffy, my beautiful cat
Was a close companion,
But was more than that
He had a big heart,
Long hair, big paws
Golden like mom, Topaz
Big headed like dad, Claws
When tragedy struck
He was there by my side,
Sencing my sorrow and
Tears I couldn't hide.
Loyalty is a virtue
Given mostly to canines,
Not enough is said
About our loving felines.
A cat who took baths?
"How's that?" You'd say
And he was also a trooper
When Grandkids came to play!
Beautiful, cherished, loyal
Was my Ruffy Cat
Big mane, big heart, big paws
He was fluffy, but not fat!

I love cats! And I think they are as loyal and loving in their catlike manner just as much as Lassie! Thanks for you lovely poem.
Aw...this was such a beautiful and loving tribute to your beloved cat, Fluffy. Thanks for sharing it.
Sorry for your loss.
This is a lovely poem about Ruffy. It sounds like he was a great cat. People often underestimate how close the relationship between a cat and a human can be. Thanks for sharing the poem and the photos.
Hyphenbird, ytsenoh, Happy and AliciaC....Thank you for visiting! Yes, he was special and deserved some recognition. Through my sorrow and heartbreak of a sudden death in the family, my little/big guy was right there!
Z,
I enjoyed the pics as much as the poem. Both are great. Thanks for sharing with us.
Hi Lifegate, Thank you, I enjoy taking pet pics. Glad you dropped by to visit!
Lovely tribute to your beloved and beautiful fur son. I'm so sorry for your loss. They really are a comfort when we need companionship and a warm friend.
I miss my sweet Ruffy. Right now, I have my little dog and I have a friend who has cats, yes they are great to have around.
Your Cat Ruffy is so cool. I hope I can have a cat like yours.. So cute.. :)
Thank you KingPhil, He was great. I like all cats, but there's something about big boy cats.
Enjoyed your poem even though I'm not a cat person..so here's to Ruffy!
Hi Weestro, Thank you! ...oh Ruffy was loyal like any dog could wish to be. He would have converted you!
