I adopted your cat today
The one you left at the pound
The one you had for seven years
and no longer wanted around.
I adopted your cat today
Do you know he's lost weight?
Do you know he's scared and depressed
and has lost all faith?
I adopted your cat today.
he had fleas and a cold,
but don't worry none.
You've unburdened your load.
I adopted your cat today.
Were you having a baby or moving away?
Did you suddenly develop allergies or was there no reason he couldn't stay?
I adopted your cat today.
he doesn't play or eat much
He's very depressed, but
he will learn again to trust.
I adopted your cat today.
And here he will stay.
He's found his forever home
and a warm bed on which to lay.
I adopted your cat today.
And I will give him all that he could need.
Patience, love, security, and understanding.
Hopefully he will forget your selfish deed.
