calico cat on my bed stand,
nightly vigil she keeps as I sleep
to protect me from unseen;
never does she purr or meow–
quietly she watches as she sits;
forever beside my bed I will keep her:
eyes have been replaced with buttons,
fake fur becoming thin in places,
still she remains my protector

nice. cute….fun that the cat has been there so long…we still have my teddy bear from when i was a kid..my youngest has it…he is definitely worn thin in areas…
My son had a stuffed cat when he was little, and I dug it out a while back. That poor Kitty certainly was well-loved also!

Sweet 55! A loyal but silent protector — what we all need.
That’s one crazy-colored cat, Razz! Nice 55!
She sounds like a real keeper, for sure, Teresa.
Love the cute little button eyes.
Speaking of buttons, yours is now up on my sidebar.

Very cool! I love the button!
Oh such a sweet kitty and a warm and tender 55er,
No worries about vet bills, fleas, and fur-balls.
Cheers,

My teddy bear AND my old cat, have long ago left me unprotected–because I did not protect them. But somehow I know they are nearby, always and forever…
Adorable! What a kitty–and a protector. Might we all have such securities.
This was a cute write.
Super cute!! The poem, and the cal-cat!!! LOVED your creativity here, girl…. I hope she keeps you company for a long long time!!
She’s been with me for 41 years this Christmas! I don’t expect her to leave me any time soon.
