New arrival
On the doorstep
Small black cat.

Wheezing, runny eyes
Ear mites and worms
Small black cat

Vet looks gloomy
Hope not proffered
Small black cat

Hand-fed, caressed
Cradled in laps
Small black cat

Feisty young ‘un
Up and at it
Small black cat

Pouncing lessons
Hearts won, much fun
Small black cat.
