The Conversion

[ayriad]

A little ditty about the stray who became my ptsd therapy cat. (Coming from someone who showed dogs for over 20 years)

A dog person I was and that was that!
But what showed up was a huge orange cat.
He bellowed real loud for all to hear,
It’s bitter cold. I’ll be a dear.
I told him firmly, just for the eve.
In the morning you really must leave.
A year has passed and now he is fat.
I really love my kitty cat.

His name is Peter Pumpkinhead from a song.
Pumpkin for short. He truly has become a therapy animal. I have severe nightmares from ptsd. In past I couldn’t go back to sleep. At times I wouldn’t sleep for days due to fear of the nightmares. I sleep on a sofa with recliners (yes I have a very nice master bedroom) but I can’t feel trapped.
I keep the recliner up by my head and have comfy blankets on it for pumpkin. He sleeps by my head every night. If I wake up he climbs on my chest and makes biscuit then lays down on my chest. He is a big boy do his weight is very comforting to me and I go back to sleep to deep purrs. When I wake in the morning he is on his lounge by my head.
My husband says it is weird the way this cat watches me. He lays in a kitchen drawer when I cook or do dishes. He watches me bathe. We have a connection that is unbelievable. We say I love you by blinking at each other. I adore this cat!

A ayriad -

His name is Peter Pumpkinhead,
He's shiny like a new brass door hinge;
His chin and tail tip both are white,
But all the rest of him is orange.
He'll chase the fiercest demon off,
And leave them broken, weak and cryin'
His Soul is gentle as a lamb,
But his Heart is like a lion.

Welcome to TCS - to you and especially to the handsome Peter Pumpkinhead.

That is so cute and sweet. I’m copying it into my journal to save!
