We had a stray cat who adopted us and lived on our porch for many years. Sadly, I haven't seen him since August. I'm hoping he found a new home. Thank you for the reminder about the Global Kind Project. It completely slipped my mind!Catherinehttp://readingtothecore.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6343349006357324362.post-66347728715709640162018-01-20T19:40:04.806-05:002018-01-20T19:40:04.806-05:00What an inspiring act of kindness.

We foster dogs here (with 5 of our own), but I'm a cat person and if my wife didn't have allergies to them, we'd probably be fostering them, too!Matt Forrest Esenwinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04230063389130167424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6343349006357324362.post-85418873463092613782018-01-20T08:03:37.490-05:002018-01-20T08:03:37.490-05:00You have such a talent at taking the everyday and ...You have such a talent at taking the everyday and making it sing in a poem. We have a "cat lady" in our neighborhood who walks and places cat food out for the neighborhood strays. You inspire me to look more closely and write about her.

I love that your daughter stopped to talk with this woman, shared the story with you and that the moment sparked into your lovely poem. Kindness can be like ripples in a pond.

I feel so sorry for all the animals enduring the freezing temperatures with little food or shelter. I'm very thankful to this lady and her kindness.

I imagine it would make that woman smile to think she's had a poem written about her. Two feral cats make their home on my daughter's porch & her husband has crafted an insulated 'house' for them in the coldest weather, from an old cooler! Those cats are out there, hoping for a bite to eat!Linda Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983144542632353870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6343349006357324362.post-49463020634748381452018-01-19T10:22:31.853-05:002018-01-19T10:22:31.853-05:00Thanks for the challenge, Amy!
