The Calico Cat ~ a poem

The following was a poem I had written a couple of years ago about my calico cat, Haley. I have decided to re-post it today in her loving memory.

The Calico Cat

She sleeps in the sunlight,

Her warm coat shines soft;

Purring ever so loudly

Underneath her catio loft

“You’re home! You’re home!”

She excitedly spouts;

As I walk through the door

“Let me in!” she shouts

Now sitting on my chair

Curled up on my lap;

Is that calico cat

And for hours she sat
