A couple of years ago, possibly  longer Linda Wilson.....wrote this poem about her deceased puss cat. I love the poem so I illustrated it .it. "Farewell Feline Friend" . Tiger, Tiger, my beautiful boy, Why did you think, a mouse is a toy? Mice now roam free and fear no more The close embrace of your claw and jaw. Tiger, Tiger, who I held so dear, Is pussy heaven as good as here? Who strokes you now, when you fret? Who dries your paws, when you are wet? Tiger, Tiger, who tread so light No bird or chick escaped your sight. They chirp for joy now they need not flee, Since you lie there in your cemetery

Awe Alan I am bowled over.  It was Linda's brilliant bit of poetry  that inspired.    I think a forum challenge .  A bit of verse and an illustration to go with it.
