Graphic by MamaBear

They Don't Need Wings

I see them all around me there,
With bright blue eyes and golden hair.
Some have different features too,
Some look the same as me and you.

There was this one with hair so dark,
And another one with a caring heart.
But yet another, at such a young age,
He looked the type to be in a cage.

They are all around this world so big,
You just have to look, no need to dig.
You see them on the corner of every city,
If you don’t, it is such a pity.

So, let me tell you now, it’s true,
About the angels God sends to you!
They may not have wings or shine so bright,
But they forever shine, with God’s loving light.

Good morning, FRiends of Mr Kitty Mittens!

Today's update is not very exciting.
He is still sneezing and not eating.
I've cut the number of times a day that I give him the supplement from 4 to 2.
He seems alert and checks out his dish but is not interested.
Ya think he wants me to feed him?

I wrote a little poem to share with y'all.


I am Mr Kitty Mitten.
I am no spring kitten.
PrissyMissy is quite smitten.
But JustAmy was the one bitten.


Ta Da ....

Thank you. Thank you.

I was so hoping for some good news. My son's cat acted like that before he had to put her down, BUT his cat was 17. I baby-sat the cat when he was out of town for business. It worried me to death because she wouldn't eat. He advised me not to worry but how can you help it? I fell in love with his cat the little time I kept it. And since he is divorced, I knew he was going to miss her something awful. He did and he does!

Since your cat is young, he can certainly snap out of it but I do know what you are going through and how helpless you can feel. Did the doctor want you to bring him back any time soon? Tell Mr. Kitty if he will get well quick he can have this mouse!

Love it! Hang in there. He will eat when he is hungry
enough.He seems better but not yet well..I've tossed out bowls
of cat food while waiting for a kitty to get over being moved
from one house to another...

Oh, Amy, I Wish his Appetite would Return; when it Comes Back, we will Know he is Well Recovered. Mr. Mittens is in my Prayers Morning and Night. I Hope you wern't Hurt by KM's Sharp Teeth; Sometimes Kitties Do Nip if they Get Upset. I had a Gentle, Sweet Kitty named Scraggs, who wouldn't Hurt a Flea, and Never even Caught Mice, even though she was an Outside Cat. One Time my Husband was Holding her and Petting her as I was Setting Up Firecrackers to Pop for the 4th of July, and I Lit One, and when it Went Off, Scraggs was So Scared she Nipped my Husband so he would Drop her so she could Run Off, Lol. She just didn't Know what was Going On, and Must have Thought that the Gun-Like Noise was the End of the World, or Something.

You mean, that little kitty with its tongue out is Sassy. How old is the cat or was that made a while back? Trubble was jealous in other words....how cute!
