FOR FABULOUS TJ
(By TJ's Momcat, Susan Lynch)

When I look in that face
(that beautiful face!),
I’m reminded of others
Who once held that space.

That rights my whole world:
Ralph, Suki, and Missy
(The last two were girls,
But they really weren’t prissy).

Long John Lennon (the dog);
And Roger and Shep,
Wait!, Though it’s getting long,
My list isn’t done yet.

There were Bingo and Buddy
And other cats, too,
But the one at the front
Of my mind now is you.

You’re fabulous TJ,
Fur-man of the house.
We know that you’ll save us
From man, beast, and mouse.

And Stevie will help you,
(Though you don’t like that).
You now hold the spot
As our number 1 cat!

But once in a while
I am reminded
Our time will grow short,
So please help me to find it…

In my heart to see when
You’re feeling your age.
The day when you can’t seem
To work up the rage

To jump on li’l Stevie
And show him who’s boss --
We’ll be watching your back,
Just because, just because…

Because we love you so
And we’d do anything
To help you to know
How much sweet love you bring

To our lives ev’ry day,
Since you entered it when
You were just a sweet, young,
Silly little kitten.

Oh! The joy that you brought
When you entered our lives
Has grown fifty times
It’s known far and wide

That you are the kitty
Who now holds the spot
Of our A-Number 1 Most
Magnificent Cat!
