Scarlett
It's been 10 years! (Click picture for a link to Scarlett's story)Why is Everybody So Surprised That I Saved My Furry Five?
Why is everyone so surprised
that I saved my furry five;
that in spite of pain and danger
I brought them out alive?
True my eyes were barely open
but I heard their frantic wails;
through smoke and flames I saw
scorched ears and burning tails.
Every trip was a burdened choice
but I could make no other.
The rescuers have called me cat...
but I am also "mother."

I knew the moment I saw the title of your post, just who this was going to be about. I remember when this happened and I remembered thinking that this was one of God's true miracles. I'm still in awe after all these years!
Hi Fuzz!
Wow, great post. I remember when this happened, but had never seen the poem.
It's a horrible story with a happy end fortunately ! I remember they also showed it here in Europe on TV I think her story went around the whole world !

Scarlett was one amazing cat. I have to wonder if I'd have saved all of my kittens too?
