I Am Thankful For…

1) all of the kitty litter I have to buy
2) all of the shed cat hair I constantly have to vacuum up
3) all of the times that I work on a project only to have a 25 pound cat come along and plop
down in the middle of it all
4) my little baby who has different meow sounds for “I’m hungry, mommy!” and “Pet me
“NOW!” and “Pay attention to me!” and “I love you!”

Why…??? Because it means that my little (!) Serena is home. I don’t know how many times today I have yelled out “Serena is home!”

Hooray!!!!!!!!!!! Yes, prayers are answered! I was thinking that God must care about animals if He spent an entire day creating them. So of course he must answer prayers to help them return home safely, right?

We don’t know where she spent the last five days and nights. All we know is that she was found in our backyard neighbor’s front yard. The best part is that when she was found, our neighbor Judy just happened to be passing by. Serena knows Judy very well because Judy feeds our cats whenever we are away. When Judy called her, Serena went right to her!

She was so happy to be home! She ate two bowels of food and drank some water and now she is sound asleep. I am going to take her to the vet on Monday to make sure she is not dehydrated and to get her shots updated.

Never give up hope! And always remember to pray for whatever is important to YOU!

Have you ever seen this movie with Burt Lancaster and Shirley Booth? Shirley Booth won the Academy Award for her performance as a pathetic housewife. In addition to all her marital woes, she continuously calls for her lost dog from her front porch. When the movie begins, the dog has already been missing for a year.

I can’t see myself ever again going out my front door and NOT calling for Serena to come home. I will never give up hope!

We have done all we can…we told all of our neighbors, posted signs, checked the local animal shelters, and prayed.

Serena’s disappearance reminds me of another cat I once had…Ashley. One time in NJ she went missing during a blizzard. As soon as it stopped snowing I searched and searched for her all over the place! It turns out that she was in our next door neighbor’s tool shed, just a few yards from our back door.

When we moved to Florida Ashley was trapped in a cat trap by a mean neighbor who did not like animals. When animal care and control was transferring her from their truck to the kennel, she escaped. She was found by someone who lived in a nearby neighborhood. They were getting ready to take her home to NY with them. Luckily they saw our sign posted and called us. Ashley really did have nine lives. Let’s hope Serena has nine lives, too.
