I adopted your cat today.
  The one you left at the pound.
  The one you had for ten years
  And no longer wanted around.

  I adopted your cat today.
  Do you know he's lost weight?
  Do you know he's scared and depressed
  And has lost all faith?
 
  I adopted your cat today.
  He had fleas and a cold,
  But don't worry none.
  You've unburdened your load.
 
  I adopted your cat today.
  Were you having a baby or moving away?
  Did you suddenly develop allergies
  Or was there no reason he couldn't stay?
 
  I adopted your cat today.
  He doesn't play or eat much.
  He's very depressed,
  But he will learn again to trust.
  
  I adopted your cat today
  And here he will stay.
  He's found his forever home
  And a warm bed to lay.
 
  I adopted your cat today
  And I will give him all that he could need.
  Patience, love, security, and understanding.
  Hopefully he will forget your selfish deed.
