Trying to be UGLY
Written by Lewes
Everyone in our apartment complex knew who Ugly was.
Ugly was the resident tomcat. Ugly loved three things in this world:fighting, eating garbage, and shall we say, love.
He only had one eye and there was a gaping hole where the other
should have been. He was also missing his ear on the same side; his left foot appeared to have been badly broken at one time. His tail had long been lost, leaving only the smallest stub, which he would constantly jerk and twitch.
Ugly would have been a dark grey tabby, except for sores covering his head and neck. Every time someone saw Ugly. there was the same reaction:"That's one Ugly cat!"
All the children were warned not to touch him, the adults threw rocks at him, hosed him down, squirted him when he tried to come in their homes, or shut his paws in the door when he would not leave. Ugly always had the same reaction: If you turned the hose on him, he would stand there,getting soaked until you gave up and quit. If you threw things at him, he would curl his lanky body around your feet in display of forgiveness.
Whenever he spied children he would come running meowing and
would bump his head against their hands, begging for their love. If you ever picked him up, he would immediately begin suckling on your shirt,earrings — whatever he could find.
One day, Ugly shared his love with the neighbor's huskies. They did not respond kindly, and Ugly was badly mauled. I could hear his screams from my apartment, and I tried to rush to his aid. By the time I got to where he was lying, it was apparent that Ugly's sad life was almost at an end.
As I picked him up and tried to carry him home, I could hear him
wheezing and gasping, and could feel him struggling. It must be hurting him terribly, I thought.
Then, I felt a familiar tugging, sucking sensation on my ear. Ugly, in so much pain and obviously dying, was trying to suckle my ear. Even in his greatest suffering , that ugly battle-scarred cat was asking only for a little affection, and perhaps some compassion.
At that moment I thought Ugly was the most beautiful, loving creature I had ever seen. Never once did he try to bite or scratch me or stuggle in any way. Ugly just looked up at me, completely trusting in me to relieve his pain.
Ugly died in my arms before I could get inside, but I sat and held him for a long time afterwards, thinking about how one scarred,deformed little stray could so alter my opinion about what it means to have true pureness of spirit, to love so totally and truly. Ugly taught me more about giving and compassion than a thousand books or lectures ever could, and for that I will always be thankful.
He had been scarred on the outside, but I was scarred on the inside,and it was time for me to move on and learn to love truly and deeply, to give my to those I cared for.
Many peoply want to be richer, more successful, more beautiful; but for me, I will always try to be Ugly.
