Prayer for a Kitty

: ) Somehow both Dad and I are talking about prayer today.

I had to just drop off one of my kitties with the emergency vet tonight. She was getting sick and began to drool. I have never seen a cat drool before. They have given her anti vomiting medicine and a pain killer along with fluids. I am not sure what is wrong with her but am hoping it is just something she ate that upset her stomach. I am taking her to my regular vet tomorrow to get some tests run.

B and I had just been talking about her last night too. It is Hazel. She is named after my great aunt and a character in one of my favorite books Watership Down. Aunt Hazel was a really wonderful person who loved cats. She couldn't have any where she lived so she had a collection of porcelin ones. I remember giving her a mug that had a cat as a handle with its head sitting on the rim peeking over it to look at the fish painted in the bottom.

I had intended to save Hazel for when I have a girl child but I got the cat first. I made B promise not to tell our kids about the cat being named it first. I have been trying to come up with another name for the cat just in case.

I am a kitty mom though. I found myself yelling at other drivers to move faster so I could get her to the emergency vet. Dear God, please watch over her tonight and keep her safe. Please heal whatever is wrong with her and bring her safe home tomorrow.

Good night and Amen.

O Eve, I'm so sorry about Hazel's being sick. I hope she makes it ok. And I hope her condition is just the result of something she ate and nothing more serious. I'm glad you are taking her to the vet and spending all that time and money on the poor kitty. By the way, have you noticed that recently I have begun to drool too?

Began to Dad? I thought that was what you always did.

Eve, beloved one. I hope your kitten is well again soon.
