My Dad had a black and white cat called Max and he adored him. A few years ago my Dad was taken into hospital with a chest infection, he was very worried about his cat. I wrote this little poem and took it along with a stuffed black toy cat to keep my Dad company. He adored this poem and had it laminated and put on the wall next to his chair. The poem is written in Scottish so if you have problems with it just ask me.

Hello there Dad, it’s me yer pal
I know ye are away
Yer at the vet’s tae make ye well
But ah miss ye everyday
A hope they clean yer cage awright
And feed ye really good
and change your litter twice a day
And if they don’t they should
Noo, am no wan fer telling tales
But this ah hafty say
Gran’s been sittin on yer chair
She does it every day
Ye ken that I get itchy nails
And that I canny hack it
It’s then that I just can’t resist
Scatching on yer carpet
Ah miss ye Dad so come hame soon
When yer feelin’ well
‘Cause am stretched oot along yer bed
Am there all by masel.
Luv from
Max
