An adaptation from Just So Stories By Rudyard Kipling of THE CAT THAT WALKED BY HIMSELF.

In a world so wild and free,  
Lived a cat, as wild as can be.
Dogs ran, horses played,
Cows wandered, night and day.

The solitary cat from just so stories by rudyard kipling
A little boy named Ruarc for the night,
Made a cave cozy, warm and bright.
A dog came by and sniffed the air,
"What's that smell? Can I share?"
Dog wants to come in
Ruarc smiled, "Want a bite?”
The dog wagged its tail with delight.
“Stay here,” Ruarc said with glee,
"And you'll always have food to eat with me!”

Next came a horse, and joined the fun,
Together, they worked under the sun.
And a cow gave milk, rich and sweet,
Life in the cave was now complete.

Ruarc saw the cat one night,  
And said, "Come in if it feels right.”
The cat knew it could roam,
But always had a loving home.

Wild and free, yet never alone,
The cat had found a place to call its own.
Be part of the group, yet wander and roam,
We, too, can find balance as our own happy home.

The cat finds a place by the fire
