Ugly

It was just then when I felt a familiar tugging, felt like a tongue just playing on my ear. Ugly was playfully licking my ear, playful yet in so much pain, suffering and unmistakably dying.. it was trying to nurse from my ear lop.

I pulled her near to me, and she rested her head on the palm of my hand and turned its head up looking at me with only one of her eyes that was soaking, and from the distant I could hear the sound of her purring, so soft yet loud at the same time, you can hear her pain through each weep she shed from the great pain she is enduring, enduring but till when? Until when will she endure!? That ugly creature was scarred, the battle scars it had endured through out god knows how long and how many times, That beat down ugly kitten was only asking for a little attention, a little affliction, perhaps some tenderness and compassion.

At the same time I thought that ugly kitten was the most adorable loving creature I have ever seen!

It never tried to bite me not even once, didn't even try to scratch me or even run away  or struggle in anyway as I was holding her. The ugly kitten just looked up to me with trust, the trust in me to relieve her from her pain.

The ugly kitten died in my arms.. right before I could get her inside my own home, I sat outside holding her for a very longtime, thinking about how one deformed, scarred little stray kitten can change my opinion about what it means to have pure pureness of spirit, to love so truly and totally.

The ugly kitten taught me something, it taught me more about compassion and giving than any book, TV or radio talk shows and lectures ever could! and as of now I will always, ALWAYS be thankful, she sure had been scarred on the outside but, I was scarred on the inside, and it was time for me to move on and learn to love deeply and truly, even for the simple things in life. To give my all to those I cared for and the ones that cared for me.

There are a lot of people who want to be richer, more famous, more successful, well liked, more beautiful but not me, I will always try to be ugly.

Oh. My. God. First of all, I love a man who loves cats, and men who are sweet on kittens? I was toast before I finished the piece. She blessed you with her final breath and that you saw her beauty - well, that speaks volumes about you. She will now live forever, because you wrote about her - she is now immortal. Well done.

Kitties are adorable!
I still think of her whenever I go to my friends house that has kitties also.. its been years since this has happened, Im kind of glad that I have met this kitten and kind of not, im glad of the lesson that i have learned form her and not glad for the fact that It died right in front of me..

anyways
Thank you for your review Carol :)

ohh! and I am a cat lover of course. I would say this one for me is cute but it would not give justice to your wonderful write. You have the talent to make the ugly beautiful and the unknown be known. Well done.

This is one of the best work of yours with strong and true message to be compassionate and show humanity. I liked it a lot. Very creatively written.

[Joey Nizz]

Thanks Najam, I'm glad you think so :)
We should have compassion and pay attention to our surroundings, sometimes there are voices out there that need to be heard and we should listen to these voices and show them that we have head them, it sucks to be alone, so why not give the needy a little of our time?

[Najam Us Saher]

Yes you are absolutely correct. You're most welcome.

Wow. The message of this story is so heartbreaking, yet meaningful.
I think people can be like that, broken, ugly, and damaged, but just want attention and love. Any living being can be like that really, people, animals, even nature. It's sad to know, but it's beautiful when someone takes the time to show them the love they need.

This story was beautiful and thoughtprovoking, it really makes the reader look at themselves and their life.
It's also amazingly well written, too!
100 rating for you!

[Joey Nizz]

Yes, we should always give attention to the less fortunate, it doesnt matter if it was human or an animal or anything from nature it self, a lot of people walk away from a crying cat or dog they pass on the street without a care in the world, or even people, the homeless the ones who are starving to death, even the water and trees, people should not throw their s**t in the water or start burning trees from no reason.
People should listen into their heart and hear what it says, to do the right thing.

Thanks for reviewing and I'm glad you liked it.

You're completely write, and I apauld you for putting this out there.
A lot of people do just turn a blind eye to people or animals who are in need. I've seen it so much in my life, as I grew older I started trying to help whoever I can.
My family took in stray cats for a while, in fact, my favorite cat in the world was a stray kitten my Dad found one day, I named her Rainbow and had her until she was 17 and passed away.
I was also homeless for about two weeks a year ago, my whole family including my daughter, and you'd be surprised how many people - even our own family - ignored us, though people did do good deeds as well. Once we got off the streets ourselves, whenever we see a homeless person, we give them however much cash we can spare.
Same with nature, people don't care about the earth anymore, or anything or anyone in it. It's very sad. I try to do my part, and do good, but so many people just ignore it like the problems will go away.

Again, I'm glad to see someone write awareness like this, and make it in such a beautiful way that really pulls on the heartstrings.

[Joey Nizz]

Not a lot of people out there who would think this way or they might do, but just to show other people that they are good but their not, their all talk but no action, Im sorry to hear about your cat, and you are doing something great and sending a powerful message through your actions and even though not a lot of people might not notice but a few do and thats what matters, even if your message goes through but only for a few, at least the message wasnt left unheard.

The world could use people like you.
