That was true, informative and just shows how God knew how to soften some of the rough edges.  :D

Sometimes I think that when Jesus comes again, my pets too will be resurrected only that time, they will be able to talk to me! Can you imagine your cat saying Hey, purr purr, thank you for being so kind to me and so sweet to get me my favourate food. Oh how I love you!....Thank you for caring!

We too are  so blessed to have both cats and dogs to love appreciate and enjoy.

Peace to you

My 9 yr old Calico whooped a coyote; she was 5 at the time. The coyote walked under the tree Kali was in and she jumped on its back. That coyote yelped, pooped, and took off up the mountain.
It was definitely one of those wish I had a video recorder moments. She can sense them outside and jumps up on the window ledge and hisses and does that crazy squeal that cats do. She is a long hair (with a tiger cut), so her tail is about 4" in diameter.
She does not snuggle, not real fond of sitting in your lap. If she does come sit in your lap, you better be on guard, because she will just take off and the claws dig into your flesh (thru Levi's). I buy 3 scratching posts/year.
Every now and again, I will wake up and she is sleeping beside me. Normally she sleeps at the foot of the bed.
She can be real real mean at times. But she loves me when it's time for food.
She does not kill little critters, she brings them in the house for me to catch and put back outside.
She can hear a can of tuna or a treat bag being opened from 100' and always comes running with her tail high in the air.
She loves being scratched behind the ears and under her jaw, and out of the blue something changes and she has her back feet kicking and she is biting (not hard, unless you hold her down, tickle her belly, and really anger her).
She has that "I'm BAD" strut all the time.
But rattle an ice bag, spray some air freshener, and she runs for her "secret" spot and stays there for about 15 minutes.
She tells me she loves me (I ask her), and I tell her everyday I love you.
She just rolls her eyes most times and goes back to doing whatever she wants!
My last cat was a Seal Point Siamese and lived 17yrs. I held her paw in my hand when the Vet gave her the injection to put her to sleep.
I enjoy dogs also, but the queen, Kali, does NOT enjoy them.

Hi Arcturus,

I've wondered at times if a pet could someday be resurrected or if they were just for that moment in time  ???

Hi Patrick,

I owned... rather enjoyed the of the company of many cats through my life.  They were all different to some degree.  What I like about cat is the low maintenance.  Give them a little food and they are good to go. 

The dogs we've had over the years were yard dogs.  Now it's different with these pomeranains I've become quite attached, because they are near by most of the time.  I think their innocence tends to make them endearing.  Pets do seem to bring out the tender side of people.

We can learn a lot about ourselves in dealing with our pets.  They are never malicious or vengeful.  I've been watching the 'Dog Whisperer' on TV and I'm seeing how he deals with problem dogs.  Animals only respond to to the situations we human create for them.  So any bad behavior on their part is because we (the thinking and reasoning human) are not providing the proper leadership.  As their ower with are the pack leader or should be.  It's an interesting show.

Nice to hear your pet stories  :)

mercy, peace and love
Kat

Deborah-Leigh:
Right Kat!

I sometimes say to my pets....Who made you?...and I knowing Who did, gives me comfort.. :) I just can not think that God will annihilate all our pets or that they will be considered as idols of our hearts to be destroyed. I find no crime in loving and appreciating Gods gifts to us and that He is the Creator. My pets certainly do not replace God in my life :)

Peace to you sister

Arcturus :)
