They gave me the results of Zagnut's (my cat) blood test and the numbers have not gone down much at all. They had hoped to get them down a lot, and they have not come down. They don't give me much hope. They said they can keep him until Saturday and keep him on the IV and take the blood test again, but that it was not likely that it would be much better. There is not much else they can do. It appears that my time with my buddy is coming to an end. My heart is breaking. I implore you to pray for a miracle for my cat, as stupid as some people might think that is. It could still happen if God will only have mercy on me and give me more time. I am not prepared to deal with his death. I thought I would have a few more years with him. I have prayed and poured out my heart to God, and to no avail. I do believe in miracles, but wonder if that is what God wants. It doesn't appear that He wants to save my cat's life. And I don't know how to deal with his death so soon. The tears won't stop right now. I had hoped to have good news today, believed it would be so, that I would bring him home, and now this. God where are You? Please help me pray, because I don't think my prayers are working. |

| Deb, I'm sorry you are going through this. I don't know how to calm the fears of losing one's beloved pet, but I DO know that God wants the very best for His people. So, I pray for the very best of what God wants for you as you struggle with this ordeal. |

| I'm very, very sorry to hear, Deb. And I might differentiate "wants" to save your kitty from "plans" to save. I know deep down (as I know you do too) that the life of Zag is precious to him, and I'm sure it grieves the Lord any time animal, plant, or human loses the life HE gave in the first place. |

| Deb I just want to say first of all that I'm sorry you feel the way you do, and I understand your grief. I'll invite you as a friend and if you need to talk I'll try my best to see what we can do about this situation. God is not rejecting you or ignoring you though. I know its hard for you to see that now but you will understand in time. God bless you and Shalom |

| Amen Steve, Debs "Thy will be done" sounds harsh but The All knowing God of LOVE knows what is best! As Mike said "Everything God gives life to is precious. It is hard for our tiny minds to understand the mind of God but HE KNOWS BEST. Praying for you Sis! love Stu. |

Honestly I don't know how you feel, because I have never loved a pet as much as you do...after the only "1" pet I loved at 8yrs of age was poisoned....but after reading your blog....you sure sound heart broken, so I'm sorry and...Deb
God bring peace to your heart and bless you always for loving His creatures! |

Deb - I was praying/thinking/meditating the other day about how, even in this flawed creation, we still get glimpses of how it is SUPPOSED to be in God's kingdom. We have been given guidance through the Word on how our lives should be led in order to help align this world with Heaven, and I believe God gives us our relationships in this life to allow us to experience what He wants/wishes/feels for us, His creation. That being said, I could dive in on all of these (I'll wait) but I think that our relationships with pets and animals is given to show us what an amazing thing it is that God - all powerful - could still care for us - not so powerful - and love us and care for us even when we react negatively or out of more 'base' instincts. I'm not saying we're like 'pets' to God, but it's another way He reveals Himself to us. Our pets and animals don't always tell you 'thank you' nor do they understand when you've got to bathe them or give them medicine, and there's also a disconnect on the 'communication side' that is never 100% overcome. We aren't able to 100% understand/communicate/appreciate everything God is telling us, yet we try to be thankful and appreciative. Like with our pets, God is happy for what we DO offer back in this manner. But I think we're also given this relationship because of the sad times - when we can't comfort a pet that's sick, or explain things that are happening, or have them taken from us too soon. God grieves over losing one of his creations, and He allows us to experience some of what He experiences through what (on the surface) seems to be such a simpler, different relationship. God is with you through this, and your friends here are too. God Bless |

Tina, thank you. You are such an encourager.
Ed, thank you also. I appreciate your prayers and concern.
Mike, I know the Lord is right here with me as I cry. Death is a part of life but it is never easy...and for me, it seems as though an animals life is harder to lose than a human. I guess perhaps because animals are so helpless.
Prophet, thank you friend...I do know that God has not left me. I just feel so helpless in watching my cat go through this. There is nothing I can do, and I feel out of control, and praying doesn't seem to be helping. Last night I finally just lifted Zagnut up to the Lord and told Him to do what He must, but to help me through.
Steve, ah there is the rub. I want my will to be done, not God's. I want my cat to live and I want God to do what I want, but that is not what He is there for, is it? Like I said to Prophet, I have struggled, but I finally gave my cat to God. His will must be done.
Stu, thank you so much...I can feel everyone's prayers giving me strength.
Jen, thank you so much for your prayers and understanding.
Prudence, thanks for your prayers.
restore, thank you...((((((((hugs))))))))
Barvubuela, you know, I am holding too tightly to Zagnut. I think that is part of the problem. If it is possible to love something too much, I am guilty of it.
Elizabeth, thank you for your prayers.
Jean, thank you so much...
Growing, if this is even close to the grief that God feels over losing a loved one, then I know what He feels, and it makes me want to save all that many more people. It hurts tremendously.
racunpoodle, thank you so much for your lovely prayer.
Melanie, what sweet things you said. And please, give your daughter Cindy a big hug from me and Zagnut. How sweet that she is willing to pray for him. That brought me tears...
woman of laughter, Ima, Cheryl, 4Given, and Cheryl from Georgia, thank you so much for your prayers. |
