Meow Phobia #memorableinstances6

A royal majestic walk, hinged with pride,
A glance with attitude over the world in his stride,
With twinkle in his eyes, 'Patchy' isnt just a stray cat,
His relation to the Jungle King is his dignity, his honor to delight.

17 siblings yet Patchy stands above them all,
To befriend every human is not his business call,
Lazing under the clouds, soaking the sun is  the business he loves to do,
Attracting all the passer-bys with an ease which he need not try to pursue.

The other day Patchy occured in exceptionally playful mood,
Tickling my legs rubbing his fluffy back he mewed,
Deeply touched, I bent to pet the furry King,
Cheeky chap thought its playtime and fell on his back with a fling,
Playfully he smacked my hand with his paw,
"Ouch! Patchy careful! Get away with your sharp claw"
While I checked the deep stratch in pain,
His Royal Highness meowed with attitude and jumped to the near-by windowpane.

This was just the beginning of my plight,
"Stray cats, deep scratch cannot be ignored" advised my Doctor Right,
"Cool" said I, "Let's get started with the required pills"
With a warm smile he scribbled on his pad which gave me chills,
Did i read it properly, oh no it cannot be,
I pacified my Aichmophobia that its not as tough as we see,
"Is this really necessary doctor?" from my chair i rose,
6 pricks of injections !!, Tetanus followed by 5 Rabies Antidoze!!,
The punctures on my arm did I faced with bravery and no cries..?
"Loosen your fist Sharon" said Dr Right before the pricks, as i tightly closed my lips and my wet eyes.

- Sharon.

With Patchy and Snowy. A moment just before the instance.
