In silent alleys and noisy cities,
Soft pawsteps whisper without a sound,
There are souls with open hearts,
Caring for the furry as if they’re crowned.
Not merely pets for fleeting fun,
But friends when lonely days begin,
Caressed and cherished with gentle grace,
Held tight as if time could not erase.
From kitchen corners to garden's end,
Cats become companions, loyal friends,
Cat lovers—with hearts that feel,
They mourn when whiskered friends turn still.
Whether poor or blessed with gold,
They feed the strays, warm or cold,
Sleeping on laps, playing by panes,
All for the love that never wanes.
Cat lovers, you are silent knights,
No sword in hand, no warlike rights,
Yet your kindness spreads like morning light,
Turning the cruel world subtly bright.
A salute to all of you out there,
Who love with no condition or care,
In a world that’s often harsh and untrue,
Your love for cats brings peace anew.
So keep on loving, never tire,
For your compassion climbs ever higher,
Cat lovers—you are a gift, no less,
In this troubled world, you bring gentleness.
