    The Cats' Protection League

    Midnight. A knock at the door.
    Open it? Better had.
    Three heavy cats, mean and bad.

    They offer protection. I ask, 'What for?'
    The Boss-cat snarls, 'You know the score.
    Listen man and listen good

    If you wanna stay in the neighbourhood,
    Pay your dues or the toms will call
    And wail each night on the backyard wall.

    Mangle the flowers, and as for the lawn
    a smelly minefield awaits you at dawn.'
    These guys meant business without a doubt

    Three cans of tuna, I handed them out.
    They then disappeared like bats into hell
    Those bad, bad cats from the CPL.


    Roger McGough.

    Donated. We have taken three cats over the years from the CPL. One is still very much alive and kicking at 15.

    I cannot quantify the amount of love and warmth these animals brought to my family. My grown up children are certainly the better human beings for having them as part of our family for so many years.

    Good luck.

    I would, but I already donate monthly to them.
    You're brilliant though!

    I am always incredibly touched by the interest and donations from strangers on this board. Our common bond is that we care about people and animals

    Except dogs. I hate dogs.

    Thank you to everyone from Charlton Life who sponsored me for Cats Protection League Blackheath & Deptford Branch. I completed the Great South Run yesterday! 10 miles in 2:03 my first ever 10 mile run. Raised about £440 with more to come. Would have posted last night but was in bed at 8pm!!
    Thank You xx
