THE OWNERS ARE REALLY TO BLAME
They only ever come to man
for food which he puts down ;
remove the food and it isn’t long
before the cat is not around.
Stalking out in hunting mood,
without due reason - just for fun,
attacking wild and innocent birds
killing each and every one.
Waking sleepers in the night
with wailing voices on the prowl
attacking bins and rubbish bags
and spreading refuse rank and foul.
Defiling gardens and public lawns
where people walk and children play.
Anti-socially roaming free
throughout the night, throughout the day.
Owners of dogs are responsible
for the dog poo left behind
so why do cat owners get off scot free
whilst owners of dogs are fined?
Dog owners take their pets on leads
and cats should be treated the same
so perhaps we shouldn’t denounce the cats
‘cos their owners are really to blame.
