Stanley is and was
a treasured friend.
A great, powerful and occasionally,
but rarely, monstrous,
in the best sense...
ginger tabby.
ginger tabby.
He was talkative,
you might say chatty,
loving, affectionate
and an otherwise most capable beast.
A pure delight
A pure delight
to gaze upon
when coming towards you
usually, if not almost always,
with a spring in his step.
He liked to give kisses
He liked to give kisses
and perform his “hoppies”
and he was a good boy
and a decent boy
who liked cat nip toys
and was a good and tolerant
and was a good and tolerant
role model
to his younger brothers and sister,
I will remember
how he lived
and not the tragedy
and not the tragedy
of having to say goodbye.
And Stanley will go down in history
as one of the best cats
of all time.
of all time.
