fleas and ticks

Most of the stray cats

They don’t come anymore

They are afraid to get the fleas and ticks

Of one cat who stays on and off

This cat moves around

Places of dirt and sleeps there

A nice clean place the cat doesn’t want

Rather it is the unkempt places

Once it was so bad

I sent him to the animal clinic

He got a jab and some medicines

Then he would disappear again

Though the jab takes 2 weeks to be effective

The fleas and ticks spread to his chin and head

The cat uses to scratch and gets it injured

I have to apply yellow lotion to stop infection

Now he is the only one returns

The food he enjoys to eat

The other stray cats are all gone

By pass the house afraid to jump in

One cat who spreads the disease

I presume he is dead for good

I don’t see him for many weeks

I don’t see him in the back lanes

But this Ronin Siamese cat

He will return for his food

Sometimes he sleeps for awhile

When he gets his full he will disappear
