Do I Go Home Today?

My family brought me home, cradled in their arms. They cuddled me and smiled at me. I was a perfect little fur ball. I was full of charm.

They played with me and laughed with me, they showered me with toys, I sure do love my family, especially the girls and boys.

The children loved to feed me, they gave me special treats. They even let me sleep with them, all snuggled in their sheets.

They used to hold and pet me often several times a day, and I purred and purred so loudly, I'm very proud to say.

Then they said I shed fur all over and missed the litter box. They said I made them sneeze, and that I have fleas.

They said I was not wanted and would have to live outside. This I did not understand, although I tried and tried.

Then they hardly ever fed me, I was cold and alone outside. I wish that I could change things. I wish I knew my crime.

My life became so longely, outside all by myself. So they brought me to a shelter, but were embarrassed to say why. They said I caused an allergy, and then kissed me goodbye.

My time is running short here, I don't want to die. If only someone would take sometime with me and give me a chance.

"You only have one day left," I heard a worker say. Does this mean a second chance? Do I get a new home, or do I die today? Unknown Author
