There’s an old gray
cat that wanders the
neighborhood.
Neutered and wild
green eyes.
He’s confident, and
thick,
doesn’t trust humans
but loves tuna.
I don’t blame him.
I have three female
cats that watch him through
the window, wagging their
slim tails.
He couldn’t care less.
I call him Bubba.
His head is the size of
a grapefruit.
Half of one ear is gone.
I put food out for him.
He waits until I go inside
to eat it.
He’s tough.
Lived a rough life.
I can tell, I’ve been down
some of the same
back roads as him,
slept in similar
alleys.
But no one has
taken my balls
yet.
I like Bubba. I’ve still got my balls also.
Love this, Thomas.
Thank you so much.
You’re welcome. It’s my pleasure to read you.
No, not yet!… Beautiful descriptions, Thomas, you’re in your element here.
Thanks. Much appreciated.
I really like this. There’s a stray male cat outside my house. I feed him everyday, but he won’t let me touch him. I think he was hit by a car at some point. His back leg is crippled. He’s tough. I’ve taken in so many unwanted cats, my house looks like a kennel. I love them all tho.
Thank you for sharing this, Thomas.
I appreciate it.
Cleverly penned, Thomas. I remember a stray cat when I was a teenager, many summers ago. Saw him catch a bird right out of the air. He would only let us pet him on the back porch, once off the porch he wouldn’t let you near him. We also fed him tuna, he was a great hunter as well. I had a stray female later on in life that helped me kill a snake. She was friendlier than the male. She would bring us gifts, dead mouse, dead bird, dead mole, she wanted to take care of her family, which was us in her eyes. I also owned three indoor cats, they’re truly fascinating animals. Sorry for the rant, my friend. My cats passed a few years back, so any story about cats hits my heartstrings. This was an incredible write. Appreciate you.

Very cool. I have 3 female indoor cats. Shadow, Nukowski and Mojo. Love them. Thank you, my friend.
