My Pre-owned Cat

I found the cutest pre-owned cat
at the local pound
He looked at me as if to say
" please don't let them put me down"

He meowed really loud
and hugged the cage where I stood
As happy as could be
Did I come to pick a cat today
Or did he just pick me?

I decided to check other cats
Before making up my mind
But no other kitty greeted me
Like that little friend of mine

A pre-owned pet that someone left
Perhaps 3 years old or more
But I didn't care how old he was
As we headed for the door

And as we got into my pre-owned car
Just before I started to drive
I petted him
and held him close
Knowing he's always be by my side
