The Legend of Jack Diamond the Cat

There once lived a cat named Jack Diamond.
He adopted Sonia & Jess,
You’d never guess,
The cat they thought was wild,
Was really like a child.
Now Jack was attacked and was almost dead.

But Jack pulled through, and lived;
The cat with nine lives with only one left.
For the wild cat was no more,
That was attacked & gored,
The legend of Jack Diamond
Lives on forevermore.

Heard the other day that Jack now has diabetes,
The cat with the nine lives,
Is running a bit short, but yet still survives!
For when he was hardly moving, comatose like,
Exhibiting the classic signs, totally unfit,
Jess took him to the Vet and found that was it.

A few days in the hospital, and Jack
Is good as new, except for a bit of insulin
A couple of times a day, that’s it.
I’m sure Sonia now thinks he’s more of a pain, a chore,
But who knows? Maybe the cat with nine lives,
Still has one more.
