" I will send them without wings so
that no one suspects they are angels."
God
I have had cats since I was six years old and got one for Christmas, she was
pure white and fluffy, I called her Snowball. Since then I cannot live without
a cat in my life and God always sends me one. I have never purchased a cat.
They just come to me as a stray lost soul, or someone cannot keep their cat
or in the case of my mother's cat, inherited. And my present cat was because
my sister could not keep her, way too fluffy she said. Each one has been my
best friend. Each one my sweetest companion. I love their purring sounds,
stroking their soft fur, their little kisses in the morning and even those big
meows, my cat sings to me like a little bird. I love that so much. I am sure
God knows when a person is lonely or sad and he sends a pet angel. These featherless angels fill me with love. My grandma used to say that I was born
with an old soul, my mother said I had the saddest eyes, and I seldom smiled.
But, with a cat beside me I am filled with happiness. God knows what he
is doing but in time he calls them home and my heart is shattered, broken
and I grief the loss deeply. Then, magically another cat will come to me, for
there is always room in my heart until I kiss them goodbye with tears.
held my angel cat
until her last gasp of life ...
and then held her more
