Aw NR, that was Scott’s loving way of saying he adds his prayers to all of ours. Kitties are special.
Fear not, have faith.

Thanks, jrabs, I figured as much. I was just pullin’ his leg, too!
I’m trying really hard to fear not and to keep my faith. Mostly I am hanging in there and trusting that Frankie is in God’s hands, wherever he is. Many blessings,
Geraldine

Hi. Today I will offer up prayers to St Blase. He befriended animals.
FEAST OF THE DAY 2/3/05 St Blase
St. Blase was a fourth century bishop who lived in Armenia and
devotion to him has been popular throughout the ages. Much of what is known about the life of St. Blase comes from the legends about his life. Historical proof exists that Blase was martyred for the Faith in his diocese of Sebastea in Armenia in the year 316. The legends surrounding Blase state that during the persecution of Licinius Blase was forced into exile into the hills in the backcountry of his diocese. There he lived as a hermit, spending his days in prayer and penance.
The legends say that one of the products of Blase’s holiness was
that even the most wild of animals became his companions without any harm to him.

That is the best way Geraldine. God knows exactly where your Frankie is. Just “Thank God” and let him know you trust that the Kitty is where God wants him to be at the moment.
If Sparrows are important to God, (and we know they are), then Frankies is well loved also, by Him.

This is wonderful, jrabs, thank you! I didn’t know this part about St Blase, that the most wild of animals became his companions. I, too, will offer up some prayers to him, especially that Frankie is being protected by him. Our faith is simply awesome, ain’t it? Many blessings!

Marie,
Thank you so much for your kind words here. I really need to be reminded of these things you say, that Frankie is well loved by God just as the sparrows are, and that he is right where God wants him to be at the moment. I, too, think this is the best way to think about him and the best way to frame my prayers. God bless you, dear Marie!

All of you are helping me so much spiritually right now. All your posts and prayers give me so much hope and remind me that I am not alone. This means so much to me, I want you all to know. Thank you, Lord!

When we pray we often have to wait for things in God’s time. I think that is the hardest part for you right now. Your kitty is an animal and therefore resourceful. I have always fed kittens that came to my door or wandered over looking hungry. Just know that you are in our prayers too.

Yes, this is so true, Fitz–it is hard to wait for things in God’s time. This certainly is the hardest part for me right now, but it is the only way. It is God’s time, not mine! This is what I have to remember, and also that animals are very resourceful, as you say. You are so kind to feed kittens that come to your door. Thank you for keeping me in your prayers, too, Fitz. You are in mine as well. I am so grateful to you all. Many blessings!

Please keep us informed about your kitty. I do hope that he will come back home soon.
I know how skittish I can be if Skittles does not answer my call. I am that way because I fear that someone might take a fancy to her and steal her too. I really do miss Munchie because she was my personal trainer and it has not been the same since she went missing. :crying:

Hi Maggie,
I will definitely let all of you know if Frankie comes home or not. Thank you for hoping he comes home soon, too. And I certainly don’t blame you one bit about worrying about your Skittles when she doesn’t answer your call right away, especially after your Munchie has gone missing. Things are never the same after one loses their kitty. I’m not sure one can ever get over it fully, especially if there is no resolution. At least if one finds their body I would think it would be easier to accept. Not knowing what happened is the worst, I think. Either way, one has to accept it, and that is not so easy at all. I’m having a pretty hard time accepting Frankie’s absence even though I know I must trust that God has him right where he wants him right now. Wherever Frankie is, he is with God and I know God is taking care of him in ways I never could. Sure wish I could though…
Thanks so much for your kind posts, Maggie, and give Skittles a pet from me!

Hi Everyone,
What I am struggling with now is maintaining some wee hope that Frankie may still return and yet attempting to accept that he may never return. I am really struggling with this balance, and so both Frankie and I still need your prayers, if at all possible. Thank you so much and God bless every one of you.

Dear Nightrider,
I just noticed your thread. I’m sorry about your kitty. If you don’t find him, I’m going to let my young female cat have kittens. She was a stray kitten that my girls took in while I was in Calif picking up my Mini this summer. She was trapped in the basement of some little friends they have who couldn’t keep her. She has a lovely personality. She’s very poised, calm, undemanding, sweet and just a perfect cat. She loves my two young dogs too. She’s very grateful for the good home she has. The girls said that she was half starved when they got her. She is glossy black.
Love, Jan

Hi WhiteDove,
Thank you for your post. Your wee kitty sounds really cute. Frankie’s brother is glassy black, too, but he’s fixed. I’m just struggling so much about my Frankie. He would sleep with me all night and wake up with me in the morning and he would look up at me as if to say, ever so sweetly, “Good morning, mom!” He always talked to me and kissed me, too. I’ve never had another kitty like him. He is Siamese with bright blue eyes, an applehead Siamese. Simply gorgeous and the most loving cat I have ever had. I rescued him and Rufus when they were wee little kittens off a busy city street in Seattle in pouring down rain five years ago. They have always been so happy and grateful to be with me. Oh, I’m just beside myself in grief. I’m going to get offline now. Thank you, Jan, and much love and peace to you, my friend.
