So I took my cat in and sure enough, his bladder was completely blocked from emptying.  They have him now sedated and catheter sewed in place.  They will keep him for a couple of days and fix him up.  Now I have to work on making sure he doesn't get sick again.  I haven't figured out how to take all of God's promises for myself.  I don't even know if he means for these promises to be for our pets.  But one thing I know, my Lord is pleased to do good things for me.  He loves me and it makes him happy to make me happy.  I do believe that.  He's been too good to me to believe anything else.

It's not that I'm so in love with my pets.  I do love them.  But I'd be happy with less pets, less mess, less work that it takes to care for them, and less costs involved.  But my heart goes out to them and I feel bad and guilty for all the humans do to animals.  Collectively, we are still not getting enough animals fixed and there are simply too many.  People abuse them.  I figure that even if I can't give my pets everything and occasionally, I might even have to put one down because I run out of funds to treat expensive illnesses..  I'm still doing more for my animals than so many thousands of animals experience every day.

Putting my cat down..  That's not something I want to think about in a 4 year old cat that's always been healthy.  This poor cat doesn't like people much.  He's been scared since we had him and probably long before that.  I want him to get well so that we can keep giving him the best life we can.

Dear Lord, please heal my cat and please provide the funds to pay the vet bill.  TJNA
