A piece of string with a bell on the end
Is the only entertainment for me
Many people rushing by each day
Is something I so often see

Sometimes I may have some playmates
But most times I'm here all alone
As I wait so very patiently
For someone to take me home

My looks, they are adorable
My fur is snowy white
How scared am I and so alone
When the day turns into night

But the night can bring me comfort
As my thoughts begin to roam
As I think of how my life would be
If I was in a loving home

I dream of a roaring fire
I see an old rocking chair
With a master who will love me
And treat me with such care

As I curl up on her lap
She rocks me to and fro
Oh, how much I'll purr my contentment
In the fire's warming glow

But now I must face reality
As the pet shop now opens its door
Haven't I seen your face somewhere?
In my dream the night before?

You walk so happily towards me
So much excitement I see in your face
I realise now that my dream has come true
As I'm finally taken out of this place

very sweet, made me smile.  I've never actually thought about how the pets felt in the stores.  Thanks for helping me to!

Unrequited love sucks.

Well ... even though I don't do cats~
I have a menagerie of four dogs and 12 birds !

I'm a softie for pet shops and the shelter !

Nicely done from the critters view !
