Great point!
I hate cats, but I respect the love folks have for their pet friends.
Redemptive suffering is for the human person, not the animal, so putting down the beloved pet is the way. But the deep sorrow this person will feel....should be offerred to God as an honor to have had such a blessing in this earthly life....the heartache should be given to God as pure graditude all the way, each day.
All the best to that kitten. I posted requests here twice for different cats and it has worked.
I'm sorry, I just can't let this pass----first how does anyone hate cats, but taking you at your word, why then would you bother to come on a thread filled with people who have nothing but love for them? Many of these people are reliving extremely sad times in their lives, and it's far from uplifting to read the opening three words of your reply.
