Steve,

Great Job! It is amazing how God uses animals in our lives to teach and remind us of Himself. This may seem a bit like a Christian mystic but I believe that God somehow gives animals the ability to discern and bless people who possess God’s Spirit and demonstrate His love â€“ even to them. If Bridgette, my cocker spaniel, was alive, I honestly believe that she would attempt to demonstrate this to any believer who would spend time with her. At times, you must feel like the director of an animal orphanage but remember the words of Paul, â€œAnd we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to [his] purpose. Rom 8:28â€ Thanks for caring and for sharing this adventure. I am very confident that your cat has touched a number of lives through your keyboard.

God Bless,

Roger

I love it! Iâ€™m a stray-taker-inner (as my dad puts it) myself. Never did meet a stray I couldnâ€™t love, even a nasty old Cajun women washed out of New Orleans by Katrina. You hit it on the head â€“ not because they are lovable, but because they need to be loved.

Blessings!!
