Billie Jean - our feline queen
sleeps contented - dappled sunlight bathing her amidst the rosella bushes
Purring so proudly, cat friend of mine
Family with Trish since 12 weeks old
The outdoors and garden where she
slept and she strode
Fits, infections, eye popping out,
losing all fat
A heart wrenching decision to curtail
suffering
Putting her down life’s cruellest
ending
Our watery tears hidden from public
view
“is it time up for this little Lady?”asked
dear Alison the vet
We nodded and stroked Billie Jean
filled with regret
Billie had a tube inserted into the
vein
Alison placed our loved cat on Trish’s lap numbing
the strain
Into the syringe the purple liquid
like lava down the tube flows
Billie’s head drops and sudden death shows
“she’s gone” Alison caringly remarks after
checking her heart
The silence of sadness speaks of no
more
Purring, or dribbling, or patting or leaping into laps
Wrapped in a sheet and placed in a
Robins kitchens bag
We brought Billie home and busied ourselves preparing her place
Burying her under the rosella bushes
Farewell Billie Jean – our feline queen
sleep forever in your paradise
RIP 10th May 2012
