Once was lost but now found

We human beings r strange.
Very strange indeed.
When a scrawny mangy kitten
was brought home
about 2 years ago,
it was made clear one
was not pleased.

It didn't help that this thing
meows constantly,
totally 2nd child syndrome
And claws the furniture to shreds.

His saving grace?
He loved cuddling up to me to sleep.
As in, really snuggling
right up to share my pillow.

In time, this scrawny little thing
Grew into a hefty furball
And sharing a pillow
Resulted in me having a stiff neck.

He clawed, he chewed,
he broke a bottle of whiskey
And sent my asthma off the roof.

Last Friday we noticed
He'd gone missing
Thus began the search,
Walking up and down
The whole block,
Floor by floor.

The slightest meow sent me
hurrying over to the source
Disappointed to find
It was not the one we sought.

The anguish of losing him
Surprised myself and
I prayed he had found
A better home that didn't mind
His many sins.

Baby no. 2 found him
Early Monday morn
At a god-forsaken hr
of 4am.

A constant meowing
Drove her to look for
this source of noise
Only to find him hiding
among some pot plants
8 levels down.

He was once lost
& now found
Somehow we don't seem
To mind the whiny wailing
2nd child attention seeking
Furball.

We're just glad he's home...
We missed him....
