“Gizmo” – one of our Aristo-Cats in Renmore!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Verse needs\u00a0 rounding off better as I was unaware of “speying while pregnant”, which literally is abortions for kittens… I appended a verse to reflect this but need to alter it… even when the uterus (womb) is not removed, the procedure is something a cat owner would baulk at<\/a><\/em>, but abortion providers and supporters want us to promote for humans as if its nothing at all…
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

The cats frolic and play in the garden
\nSo many we now have lost count
\nWe think in time there may be more
\nAs brazenly each other they mount.<\/p>\n

There was Gizmo and Treczczi
\nThe names of others I forget
\nThe few strays who stayed a few days
\nThe others that I never met.<\/p>\n

And then one, she had her kittens
\nIn total, in cats we had ten
\nWe loved them all more than the landlady
\nBut we knew we reached our limit then.<\/p>\n

What will we do if there are many more?
\nWe cant afford to get the vet to put them down
\nWe hate cruelty to animals, but have no option
\nIn a bucket them we may have to drown.<\/p>\n

In a moment of madness or inspiration
\n– as all Eureka moments be –
\nI came across an idea
\nWhen the topic was discussed by the cats owners and me<\/p>\n

Well, why cant we have abortions for kittens
\nThat the trendy left want for humans to bring in
\nFor there are too many on the planet
\nAnd to have any more is a sin.<\/p>\n

I mean, unborn kittens are not real cats
\nThey are but lumps of flesh, parasites on their mum
\nWho’d get over the trauma in time we are sure
\nThat she was shagging no one would know and we could keep schtum!<\/p>\n

But the animal rights crew would be appealed at the suggestion
\nTo be a mother was the mother cats right
\nThe pain and the shock that she would go through
\nThe aborted kittens would be a horrible sight!<\/p>\n

If its good enough for humans I thought in my moment of madness
\nThough I think that its not – but lets not talk of that! –
\nI cant see why thinking cats as good as humans
\nWhy its not good enough for the family cat!<\/p>\n

Have I thought up of a way to make my fortune?
\nWill I be by the Catholic Church be condemned
\nOr have I shown what we would not do to a cat we do to our own
\nFlying as pro life left in the face of the popular trend?<\/p>\n

But then I was told of speying while pregnant
\nSaw they were subject to that savagery as well
\nHow low can humanity stoop I wonder
\nOnly time and history will tell…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
