A Tribute to Salem

Salem was our one week old kitten whom Ate claimed as hers. He lived such a short life that I haven't even been able to get his picture. So, this is a short poem I lifted from Grace Tolson to remember him by.

A Special Kind of People

Cats are a special kind of people, as we who love 
them know, though it's not their fur, or their throbbing
purr, or the whiskers along side their nose. It's not 
their tail, though they talk with that, it's just
something, somehow about being a cat.

It's hard to explain, I don't think you can, just give
the love they crave, no need to understand, how, be they 
kitten or cat, they make our house a home. What a wonderful
gift, from the Lord above, when he sends a cat to our door.
