UGLY THE CAT
Everyone in the apartment complex
I lived
in knew who Ugly was.
Ugly was the resident tomcat. Ugly
loved
three things in this world:
fighting, eating garbage, and, shall we
say,
love. The combination of these things
combined with a life spent
outside had their
effect on Ugly.
To start with, he had
only one eye and where
the other should have been was a hole. He was
also
missing his ear on the same side, his left
foot appeared to have been badly
broken at
one time, and had healed at an unnatural angle,
making him look
like he was always
turning the corner
Ugly would have been a
dark gray tabby,
striped type, except for the sores covering
his
head, neck, and even his shoulders. His had
lost his tail
a long time ago, leaving only the
smallest stub, which he would
constantly jerk
and twitch. Every time someone saw Ugly
there
was the same reaction.
"That's one UGLY cat!".
All the children were
warned not to touch him,
the adults threw rocks at him, hosed
him
down, squirted him when he tried to come in
their homes,
or shut his paws in the door
when he would not leave.
Ugly always had
the same reaction. If you
turned the hose on him, he would stand
there,
getting soaked until you gave up and quit. If
you threw
things at him, he would curl his
lanky body around your feet in
forgiveness.
Whenever he spied children, he would come
running,
meowing frantically and bump his
head against their hands, begging for
their
love. If you ever picked him up he would
immediately
begin suckling on your shirt,
earrings, whatever he could
find.
One day Ugly shared his love with the
neighbor's dogs.
They did not respond kindly,
and Ugly was badly mauled. I tried to rush
to
his aid. By the time I got to where he was
laying, it was
apparent Ugly's sad life was
almost at an end.
Ugly lay in a wet circle,
his back legs and lower
back was grossly out of shape, a gaping tear
in
the white strip of fur that ran down his front. As
I picked
him up and tried to carry him home, I
could hear him wheezing and
gasping, and
could feel him struggling. It must be hurting
him
terribly, I thought.
Then I felt a familiar tugging, sucking sensation
on my
ear. Ugly, in so much pain, suffering and
obviously dying, was trying
to suckle my ear. I
pulled him closer to me and he bumped the
palm
of my hand with his head, then he turned his one
golden
eye towards me, and I could hear the
distinct sound of him
purring.
