The noise came loudly is the result of an incident that happened this week. I still haven’t quite forgiven Miss Ivy for being such a fierce warrior cat, but since I don’t know HOW she managed to do the trick, I can’t completely blame her either. When I brought in a different litter of kits tonight (it’s supposed to be rather cold again overnight), I made a point of adding additional barriers to the locked door. I’ll not forget to do that again (addled sick brain or not).
So welcome to this week’s five minute Friday post (written a couple days late).
The Noise Came Loudly
there it was
the noise came loudly
an eruption of sound.
tears and anger
and a lot of anguish
from a body tired of illness
the suddenness of the shock
brought all those emotions
to the fore front in a blast.
the tears and sobbing
unexpected as it’s not the
first time this loss occurred
but the tiredness and sickness
and the annoyance all combined
into an explosion of regret and hurt.
a young cat ran
(a good thing that)
as a tearful, angry owner
cleaned up a mess from
a huntress’ prowess
three young kits gone
a hubby hovered bravely
nearby, obstensibly
“loading the dishwasher”
but in hindsight
minding his wife who
kinda fell apart
as hopes and dreams for
a lost litter vanished
in the blink of an eye.
how did a locked door
because unlocked by a young cat
allowing her unwanted entrance?
this question will never
be answered, a mystery unsolved,
but the aftermath is still bitter.
Oh no, That sounds awful.
it was. we’ve taken steps since then to make sure it doesn’t happen again.
Nature ways of nature are harsh. I have to remind myself it is God’s design for survival but every swoop in of a hawk, leap of a cat, or crash into a window that takes the life of one of “my birds” breaks my heart. I know it’s the way it’s supposed to be, but it is hard. My heart breaks for your loss too. I’m so sorry. Your #fmf neighbor, Cindy
it’s very hard sometimes when nature does what nature does. it does point out loopholes in our care though so we can fix it! (that’s the only positive I took from this).
