A Cat Moment

Ohh!
There was a cat spirit
here just now!

A passed on pet,
who's not gone yet,
but slips between
the shadows.

Loving us still and
not yet willing
to go.. a whispery
spirit we catch
out of eye corner,
fleeting as they were
once of foot.

A heartache,
a memory,
a smile -
a cat moment!
