today,
on my porch are
two small tigers and a miniature panther.
they arrived
wild and hissing and soaking wet.
they are now caged and dry,
with full bellies –
and scared.
and even though they are loved,
i doubt they can tell right now.
I empathize.
but still wear gloves when i put in their food.

Aww….I’m so glad that they found your door!!!
Wear gloves and use a grabber hand, maybe.
