there's this cat....

... hanging outside the school. The friendliest little kitten, love to be picked up, held, fussed over. The little pink collar is the only thing stopping me from taking it home. I think it's stopping me. Help! it's a calico with Hemmingway thumbs. I've loved on it three times today, saving it from herds of kids with big feet. I put it in the bushes next door & it came back. I put it in the back yard and it came back. A kid put it farther out in the yard & it came back. I don't want it to be flat on the road or an alligator's dinner. Do you think George wants a baby sister? Look what fell into my car, can we keep it? No, it's wearing a collar & I can't steal a cat. But it's loose in the world. So sad to be all alone in the world. What if I accidentally put the cat carrier in the car tomorrow......? SO sad to be all alone in the world.
