The Gift of Squiggles, the Twenty Three Year old Wonder Cat
I wrote this last year... and today Squiggles once again pulled a kitty, "I got this" out of her old and tired kitty hat. I hope you all enjoy.
Twas the day after Christmas and all through the King house.
There were mounds of dishes
An abundance of feral eaters and left overs by the pound.
There were piles of trash because the feral eaters were here.
There were even a little bit of libations to give a little extra cheer.
As they lazed in their food comas and took a lot of naps.
One of the King kids decided to go out.
He went out to work off some of the copious amounts of food.
The King kid ran, lifted weights and tried to do their best by putting his muscles to the test.
To make up for the feral eating that they had been eating,like they had been in a food eating contest.
On a nice and sweet whim the King kid decided to get his mom some fries because he knew she loved them.
He came down the driveway, and ran to the door, and when he found it was locked he decided to ring the not so trusty, yet weird doorbell.
Well what happened next was a bit of a shock, as his brother let him in and a bird flew in with a flap and a flop.
The King boys chased the bird behind the china hutch.
They got Squiggles the twenty two year old wonder cat to help in their hunt.
This little kitty was deaf and really did not do that much, but when she smelled the bird she decided she would hunt!
She looked like a kitty who was in her youth.
She was a hunter! She could do this with a crick and crack of her kitty hunting and sleuth.
She saw the bird and she gave chase!
That cheeky birdy flew away!
It flew on the Christmas trees and behind the house bushes.
It flew and flew until Squiggles caught it!
Squiggles ran off with the bird like she was a young cat!
The King brothers gave chase to save the little bugger of a bird.
The King brothers managed to get the birdy from Squiggles kitty claws and placed the little birdy on the porch.
Squiggles the Twenty Two year old wonder cat continued to search for her trophy from her hunt.
Why did they take her glory and her birdy hunt?
For a few moments Squiggles re-lived her youth. A kitty, a hunter, a tiny yet mighty calico cat.
Fly free little birdy, you gave us a laugh and you gave a gift to Squiggles the Wonder Cat.
Today Squiggles, the really old wonder cat, decided she wanted to go outside. We have been trading fevers and sore throats at the King Castle. Fun times. I came downstairs and in her 12 pack a day smoking kitty meow she stated she wanted to go outside. We have been reluctant to let her out recently because, well…. She’s old. But, she does need to relive those glory days of being the mean old neighborhood kitty. Seriously, I had a neighbor come to me once and ask who owns the mean little calico kitty that terrorizes everything. Um……. we do. So, after the meow that puts you on edge, I let her out. A few hours later I came downstairs to Squiggles at the door with a chipmunk in her mouth and a very large tree leaf. So… I am guessing she climbed said tree, got the poor chipmunk and proceeded to relive her glory days? I felt bad for the little thing. What can we learn from Squiggles, the really old wonder cat? Well, keep going. Be persistent, Be present and meow like no one can hear you. Either way this little shelter kitty that we got over twenty years ago is a survivor. Tenacity. She has it. We need it.... let us learn from this little kitty.
Squiggles is about 80 in people years. I'm 86 in people years and my Joyce and I walked 3 miles this morning. Age is not the issue. It's the determination to keep going that matters, and given the proper inspiration, Squiggles just might have a few more tricks up her furry sleeves.
