Fat Louie Gives Thanks
“A cat has nine lives. For three he plays, for three he strays, And for the last three - he stays.” English Proverb
When I first found tiny old Louie He was starving and far too lean But ever since I brought him home He’s turned into an Eating Machine And when our Louie begins to dine There is sheer contentment in his eyes It’s as if he’s in a fine gourmet restaurant And for the very best dish he’ll award a prize He seems to have gained 20 pounds He loves to eat twenty four hours a day I guess he wants to make up for lost time He devours everything that comes his way Our Louie has Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) Which is equivalent to the Aids Virus in human beings When I found him, my vet had advised putting him down I’m glad I never took his advice for all the joy Louie brings I recently found Louie’s secret hiding place Where he stashes purloined food for snacks He had secreted away tons of potato chips Gobs of French Fries and a leftover Big Mac He also loves to raid all the cat food bowls He’s even stolen a complete dinner or two And the other day he started eating dog food Which has made all of my pooches very blue I was really starting to worry about Louie I had never before seen any feline do that So I took him to the vet for an examination And he said, “Louie is just one Happy Fat Cat!” And indeed Fat Louie is a very contented soul As he purrs happily while waddling down the hall This once homeless feline is Home for the Holidays And that truly is one of the most wondrous things of all Maybe we should all take our lead from good old Louie And give thanks for the bounty we receive each and every day So from Fat Happy Louie and the rest of my wacky critter family We all wish you the most Joyous and the most Blessed of Holidays Hey! Where did my drumstick go?! And who hid those dinner rolls?! LOUIE!!!
