I think more then anything I need a shoulder to cry on here. The other day my hubby noticed a calico cat off in a corner of our yard. We didn't think too much of it because we've been feeding neighbourhood wanderers/strays all winter. Today all of a sudden my hubby calls me to come down to the kitchen right away saying something abt a cat & being injured or something. So I rushed downstairs to our sunroom to find a 6 month old calico kitten. It was very approachable & came to me right away. We noticed it had a huge bald scar patch on one side more then a scratch more like a huge gash type thing. So I went & got our cats carrying cage put her in there (I checked & it was female) & she proceeded to eat 3 1/2 servings of tuna as she was plainly starving. The moment I held her she purred and wrapped herself up close to my neck. Well we had to go out & weren't sure at all what we were going to do. I set up a nursery for her in our spare room while we were gone, complete with all kinds of toys. She was so excited, she didn't know which toys to play with first, she ate some more & you could tell she was just in awe of her surroundings. Well when we got home we packed her up & took her down to our humane society (I did not want this at all but my hubby just thinks 2 are plenty & I guess could not make a commitment for another one in a snap). She's a calico so of course all I could think of was Cally so I called her that. In the car she was happier in my arms up against my chest just looking at all the surroundings, purring all the time. Ok I'm crying again darn it. By the time we got there & handed her over I was in tears. She had so connected with me, I could feel it. I think only cat people here could understand this. It felt just so right. I had brought a couple of her toys & I asked the girl if I could go put them in her holding cage, well the look she gave me would totally kill you, it was like, aren't you my mommy, can we go back home now, etc. etc. They feel she might have been hit maybe by a car or something cause they could out her 2 front teeth are broken so they'll have to be pulled. They said they can't promise she won't be put to sleep but they've got an order to call me 1st. At that point even my hubby said we'd go back & get her. I've asked the Lord if it's meant to be can he get her back to me but why did this have to happen. I'm wondering if maybe our Lord is not sure it should happen, I don't know, I guess I'm just looking for a shoulder to cry on. So everyone thanks so much for listening. I'd really be interested in knowing what everyone thinks.
