Description

This beautiful needlepoint rendition of "Ode to a Stray Cat" by James Donovan was lovingly stitched by a PawsWatch supporter and expresses a sentiment that so many of us share. This 8x10 work is nicely framed and finished measures 10 3/4 x 12 3/4                                                                                                                        Text of poem reads:


Oh, what unhappy twist of fate / Has brought you homeless to my gate / The gate where once another stood / To beg for shelter, warmth and food /  For from that day I ceased to be / The master of my destiny / While he,with purr and velvet paw / Became within my house the law / He scratched the furniture and shed /  And claimed the middle of my bed /  He ruled in arrogance and pride / And broke my heart the day he died / So if you really think, oh cat / I'd willingly relive all that / Because you come, forlorn and thin /  Well....don't just stand there...come on in!
