We need some prayer warriors for our daughter's lost kitty. I know this is a trivial matter in the grand scheme of things these days, but my 16 year old daughter has lost so much at her young age. At 8, a close neighborhood friend died suddenly. She always wanted a dog, so we got her a dog for her 9th birthday. The dog had to be put down at Christmas, 06. Then, in March of 07, one of her friends committed suicide. We got her this kitty in May of 07 on her 14th birthday, to help her grieve through losing the dog and her friend. If she loses this kitty, too, it will just be too much!
We haven't seen him for two days. Please pray for us to find him.
Thanks fellow FReepers.
Prayers up. Its nice to know that in the “grand scheme of things”, God cares about every detail of our lives.
Prayers going up! I’m a cat lover too; my big boy Clyde got out for three days once and I almost had a breakdown. Fortunately he stayed close to home and I was able to get him back. I hope your story has a similar happy ending. Please keep us posted!
If you have any photos of the kitty cat, have a bunch reproduced and take them and hand them out around the neighborhood.
I have a kitty cat whom I couldn’t find for over 24 hours. I was going crazy and out of my mind. There is no way he could have escaped out of my apartment (so I was hoping that was true).
My cleaning lady and I started to cover every inch of my apartment. We found the little rascal in a kitchen drawer.
Don’t ask me how this disgrace happened, but it did. To this day, I feel awful what happened (I felt, and still do, like an awful mother); but at the same time, I still remember the elation I felt when he was found.
Prayers for his return.
Stray cats came to my backyard and I try to find their families. Record is six months apart and the cat remembered them. It was beautiful.
Prayers that you experience such beauty (quicker).
XOX
Most cats are found within a couple of blocks away.
At night, carry a flashlight and check everywhere.
Be sure to ask your neighbors to check on outdoor closets or exterior doors which they might have closed and trapped kitty in.
Yes. Kitty cats many times appear at your home at night. Reason being there is less commotion, and they come out of hiding because of less fear due to noises, etc.
Once the sun goes down, go outside and start looking around your yard quietly with little noise and movement. (I have also been through that many years ago.)
Prayers on the way. Kitties are important too. I hope he’s just off doing cat things and will return soon.
Prayers for lost pets that need to be found....and prayers for strength for her and that you may find the right words to comfort her......
Prayers for your daughter.
Try putting the cat’s litter box outside. Really.
We had a cat gone for a week - my wife was very sad. I emptied the litter box in the trash - and she came back the next day. Dunno if it was coincidence or if the cat smelled her litter and found her way back. But it might be worth a try.
Love children, love kitties, Prayers up.
:( Good luck friend.
I see posters for missing pets all the time. Breaks my heart.
Continued prayers for your family.
One of my guys was lost for 2 days last weekend and it was horrible. He came back at 1 am after many prayers from many people. Please keep us posted.
Thanks everyone for your support and prayers. We still have not found him, but we haven’t completely given up hope yet. Your continued prayers and thoughts are appreciated.
Here is what my daughter wrote tonight:
any less. three words.
As my surroundings become silent,
there is nothing drowning out reality.
As my distractions fade away,
there is nothing to keep me busy,
my mind is left to wander.
Knowing full well, the worst
is yet to come, dread floods me.
Sure I feel fine at the moment
but that’s with the tv on, friends and family around and music playing.
Any less, and my heart aches. Any less, and I beg God with all my strength
to bring him home to me.
If not him home today, or the next, then God I need you.
Please Lord, drench me in Your love, peace and comfort.
as I crawl into your lap.
I’m on my knees begging for a sanctuary.
Let me stay, in Your sanctuary.
Remind me that I am weak but You are strong.
Remind me that you will redeem my pain.
Remind me again and again of Your never ending love.
Grant me the patience, peace and strength to sit quiet,
and listen for Your whispers of comfort.
As day turns to night and everything around me,
reminds me of my dear lost companion,
It comes down to three words, God:
I need you.
Thank you for the update. I have been worried about your kitty...always thinking about him.
I feel so sick and sad as if it were my own.
Please keep me posted.
Thank you again.
Prayers still going up for the little guy. Keep us posted.
Must need a new monitor.
Mine went kinda blurry while reading that.
<<<< prayers still continuing >>>>>
I’ve been out of town w/ the family....but thanks for the update. You and kitty are still in my prayers. :)
