American's pets have more consideration than humans do in their passing. I cried at "Marley and Me" movie because it was so kind and touching when Marley had to pass. May I be so blessed.

End Cat

Rickity hips
ripped ears
old tomcat
yowls
for water
yowls
because it hurts
all
the time now
yowls
because he lost
something but
can’t remember what
yowls
for mamma
yowls
in the empty hallway
just to hear
the raspy echo
of a tomcat’s
yowl.
