Alley Cat.
A bit of jungle in the street
He goes on velvet toes,
And slinking through the shadows, stalks
Imaginary foes.
Esther Valck Georges.
The much loved and often despised stray cat. I have always had a soft spot for these seeming hard creatures. Just like most of us, they just need a little attention and love.
Go ahead, feed a stray, you might get a friend that never will leave you.
