You can go fairly far with a new kitten heart,
Its fluffy young paws pushing platelets and stuff.
But don’t expect love to come crashing in droves
And don’t think your mom will still want the same hugs.
The truth is the fur and the whiskers and tail
Will only sustain so much life as it takes
To let you run miles or swim laps all your days
And let you see clearly your old heart’s mistakes.

I had a kitten heart once.
But it was just an appetizer.
chicken hearts are good, with gizzards and green beens, mmm....
You know it's easier to see the old heart's mistakes if you take a scalpel, slit through the fur, then use some sort of blunt object (preferably a crowbar) to pry your way between the thin cat ribs so they snap like toothpicks. Then there's just a few layers of blood, muscle, sinew, and membrance to snip through and BOOM. Old Heart's mistakes. Little room for doubt.
