Merlin the Magic Cat

Merlin was found abandoned when he was a kitten Wet, cold and hungry, and badly flea-ridden His meowing was constant, distressingly high-pitched. Having been cruelly treated, then callously ditched. He quickly grew strong and quickly grew big. His recovery, a blessing and miraculously quick. Energetic, playful, inquisitive and fun He loved being outdoors in the warmth of the sun. His coat white and silver, and sparkling blue eyes A handsome, cute cat came as no surprise. He had a white fluffy chin that looked like a beard And dark patches of fur at the top of his ears. A gentle big cat, affectionate and loving Many people said, "He's so friendly and stunning." My anti-cat neighbour even welcomed him in I soon started to see a different side of Jim. We began visiting care homes and shelters. Adults and children charity centers The effects on people were amazing to see. People called it Merlin The Magic Cat Remedy. The top of his tail would always hook over His greeting, his hello as we moved around closer His tail like a staff that seemed to emit magic, Helping the troubles in lives that were traumatic. He always responded with a gentle meow Healing and mending, only Merlin knew how. His soft, gentle purring was very hypnotic Relaxing and soothing, a therapeutic tonic. Through the years, he gained a mystical reputation And connecting through telepathy communication He brought smiles and laughter, and inner peace. Pent-up emotions, some, learned to calmly release. At the age of fourteen, Merlin sadly passed away. His legacy and memories live on to this day. Never afraid, good-natured, gentle and kind. Healing through spirit, body, and mind.
