I
was down on my luck living on the streets. I had a bad reputation and it
seemed wherever I went no one wanted me and would chase me away. Word on the
street was that if you were ever in need there was this house that would show
you some kindness. I searched and searched for this place, this heaven. I
grew more hungry and weary every day. By the time I found the house I was
dirty and thin and had things in my belly that didn't belong there. I thought
the people would take one look at my disgusting self and turn me away. I
perched on the fence and this other cat who lived there wouldn't let me pass.
What a ruckus we made and a female people came out to see what all the fuss
was about. I turned my face in shame but she brought me food and after my
belly was full I crawled into her arms and purred my loudest. She took me in
and pampered me while she tried to find where I belonged. No one claimed me
and to be honest I didn't want to be claimed. I knew I was already home.
I bestowed my gratitude by displaying my best behavior and by being a loving
lap cat to the two nice people who lived here. I was docile towards the other
three felines in the house, too. They definitely didn't like me at all though
- something about I was still all male and I just didn't fit in. The people
whispered behind closed doors and I knew they were discussing what my future
should be.
Soon afterwards, the people took me to a place that made me take a nap, then
did the unthinkable of shaving my belly and giving me a little nip / tuck.
After a few weeks, I seemed to feel mellower and really didn't care about the
birds and bees anymore. The other felines liked my new attitude and started
coming around and after they got to know me they soon found out that I wasn't
so bad after all. Then I was given some medicine to make the squiggly things
in my belly go away and I began to feel even better.
The people told me my name now would be Pooh Bear but they mostly call me Pooh
Pooh and it is said with love. I started thinking of the people as mom and
dad and I think of them with love. I am a very lucky boy to have found such a
good house to live in. They say home is where the heart is and this home is
all heart.
