I am happy to say I now have a cat! A beautiful silver, black and gray stripped Tabby with vibrant green eyes. She is approximately 2 years old and I got her from our local Vet Assistant, Chris...all thanks to our Hospice volunteer, Kate. I had told her I really missed my sweet Chewchy, my Maltese that you may remember died last year, January 12 and she checked around with those she knew to help me. No other pet could ever replace Chewchy but I was very lonely and thought it best to get a cat that I could keep indoors. She is so sweet and faithful to sleep right on me or near me every night. She has been a loving companion for Micah too as he recovers from surgery. Technically, we have not named her. I keep waiting for Micah to do it and he insists that I do it, but whenever I need to find her, in a high pitched voice I say, "Boop Boop" and she comes running. Thank you Lord for our new addition and bless Kate and Chris for helping me. BTW, Kate also got me some books about cats from the library and I have learned so many new things. Sure enough, when she first entered the house, she seemed happy and noticed her food and water bowl right away but when she stepped into the litter box OH MY GOODNESS she got so angry. She began to hiss and howl and her tail was whipping back and forth. She obviously hated the litter. I quickly checked The Cat Bible. Luckily, I had purchased more than one kind of litter and went with The World's Best Litter. It is made out of corn, is 99% dust free and flushable (though I still use the trash can). Once I switched out the clumpable clay with World's Best, she became pleasant once again. I presume the size of the clay was larger than what she was used to and though the World's Best is yellow, the particles were smaller which probably reminded her of the clay she was originally used to. Whew!!! The Cat Bible is a phenomenal book.

A NEW ADDITION TO OUR FAMILY!!
