the stray cats


The stray cats
Running loose on the road
Sitting leisurely at the back lanes
Grooming under the shades

Sometimes they get crumbs
Throw by the housewives
Through the kitchen windows
The stray cats like

Nobody wants to catch the strays
The cats don't fetch monetary value
The houseowners will chase away
The stray cats trespassing through

Though the stray cats are nuisance
Stained the garden and urine
The humans are their slaves
Cleaning it up staring at the strays

At a pet shop I walk by
I see a mix breed for sale
A mix of siamese and persian cat
In the cage waiting for buyers

There is no price tag
I believe it could be a stolen cat
It is an adult male with blue eyes
Sitting quietly in the cage

He will look
Hoping to get out of the cage
But many are interested in birds
So the poor cat sits alone and wait

The stray cats causing nuisance
The poo and urine in the garden
Sometimes in the porch or near pillars
The marks of their visit and return
