Molly-kitty Scare

Molly-kitty Scare

Comments 1 comment

Last night at about 9 pm, a fluffy white and black cat attacked our Molly in the back yard. It was the full cat attack, complete with screech.

I yelled and chased the other cat off the property, but Molly took off so fast in another direction that I couldn’t even track where she went.

I called to her, but she didn’t respond. I figured that she was rightfully spooked and probably took off into the woods (our house adjoins a park). After about an hour, I started to worry that she might be injured and started looking for her. Nothing.

After locating a flashlight, I searched under the deck and up on the roof and all over. Nothing.

This morning, I called to her and even tapped a can of food. Nothing.

By lunchtime, I was thinking about how the coyotes took our other cat Zoom. I was watching the sky for birds of prey. Ben and I took a walk, calling to her and listening for the slightest miaow. Nothing.

A couple of hours ago, I put out an alert on her microchip in case someone found her. I alerted my nearest neighbor, and had just gotten off the phone when –

THERE SHE WAS!! Bounding toward us!

So skittish she almost ran away when we opened the door. Ben and I went inside and opened a can of her favorite food. She slinked into the kitchen – without her normal bossy tones – and munched down. Good sign.

She was trembling, still obviously frightened. I checked her carefully, but she appeared to be uninjured – physically, at least.

We’ve been comforting her, and now she and Ben are nestled up together. She’s all warm and happy.

And so are we. Such a scare.

We love our little Molly.

“In the dominant Western religious system, the love of God is essentially the same as the belief in God, in God’s existence, God’s justice, God’s love. The love of God is essentially a thought experience. In the Eastern religions and in mysticism, the love of God is an intense feeling experience of oneness, inseparably linked with the expression of this love in every act of living.”

Seeing this much love can only bring higher awareness… and tears.

What are we fighting for? Why do greed and corruption and needless death still triumph over love and caring and thriving?

Have we learned nothing at all?

Bring them home. Bring them home. Bring them all home – everywhere.

For Hallowe’en, that is.

I had a heck of a time changing the theme and updating some plugins, but all is well now.

We’ve got a scary creature set up at the door. The kid’s costume is set. For those that don’t celebrate Hallowe’en, I have my own plans (muah-haahahahaha).

It’s been kind of strange and upsetting period with me lately, but things are getting better all the time.

I get a kind of wanderlust in the fall, but I used up all my vacation time. Once my mom gets home from the hospital, I might be taking a couple of weekend road trips to help her out, but I’d really prefer to go west or north. Or both.

I’ve got nothing to say, but it’s ok. All you need…
