The Cat Saga is the name of the epic poem. Hope you never have such a problem!
There was a noise within our wall
From right behind the shower stall
Twas not a mouse nor even rat
My Fod did we just hear a cat
Oh what to do I do not know
For Anti-Pest it just might go
But on the weekend they’re away
And so the pest right here will stay
For crawling neath the house not me
So come the night may kitty be
Within the wall and snuggled tight
At least till Monday out of sight
Animal control made it look so easy
A live trap no need for queasy
A can of Friskies tuna delight
And momma cat caught without a fight
Then next you know two kitties there
Oh no momma what you doin there
Scoop with a net-grab and both soon caught
Kitties are captured with narry a thought
And so off they go and our home set free
From meowing disrupting our sweet harmony
Last night a mewing in the wall
Oh no another after all
Into the night we crawled about
My wife was urging with a shout
Don’t let it die poor little thing
So rip apart repairs and sing
Here kitty oh kitty please
And there I am on back to squeeze
Beneath the house flashlight ahead
Here’s milk oh kitty here I said
But no it would not venture free
So left it hoping morning glee
And animal control came back
And set a trap a kitty shack
Then later much to our chagrin
We caught a full grown cat within
Well done we thought it’s over now
But no again Oh holy cow
There are still kittens in the floor
We pray the trap will close the door
Friday left the trap outside
In hopes to catch the cat inside
But kitty would not show her face
But stayed inside her hiding place
But then our son came by to help
Crawled under after tiny whelp
And found not one but two were there
Within the wall their tinny lair
Meanwhile the heavens poured down rain
To make the task a wet refrain
Of mews and meows and curse words too
You’d think the sky was really blue
At last now safe within a cage
Two kittens wait to disengage
The pound is closed the weekend long
For now our kittens won’t be gone
Unless perhaps just one will stay
Named ‘trouble’ to remind us of the days
She hid beneath the floor and cried
Until we brought her safe inside
Twas not easy to say goodbye
They were so cute the reason why
But birds and dogs and cats don’t mix
So soon we’d be in such a fix
The better choice to let them go
And hope some other home they’ll know
