PRAYER REQUEST

Hi, I have a very big prayer request for me. My kitty is probably being put to sleep tomorrow. She has a problem/behaviour or something where she pees all over the house. We have had her tested numerous times, taken her to countless vets, spent thousands, literally on sprays, replacing carpets, and now she is much worse. My husband, who is also a Christian, told me tonight, its either him or the cat. Its just sooo bad now, no matter what I do. I have ordered all kinds of stuff, training things, sprays, cleaning solutions, powders, had her on kitty prozac, and everything. Nothing works. Locked her up in the bathroom with her litterbox, she then pees on the floor and poops next to it. Tonight she pooped on my bed. I just can't go on like this anymore, I agree, but I can't take her to the pound and risk she would go home to a bad person who might beat her or kill her if she peed in their house. I have prayed over this cat all the time, I have asked God to heal her, I have prayed out "pee demons" and everything. I am at my wits end. My guilt comes from the fact that this is God's creature, and He loves her too, and I feel so badly about putting her down, but it seems the only option. The house we are in now needs totally re-carpeting because of her, so I don't know what to do. Any thoughts, prayers or ideas would be appreciated. She is 10.5 yrs old, and I raised her from a baby....although it would appear not very well. Thanks everyone, God bless, and pray that I can get through this. Deborah Schueler

We had a cat that liked to go on the floor. We decided to make him an outdoor cat. At first I was so afraid that he would get hit, or run away, or get into a fight; but here it is 2 moves and 3 years later and he's doing great. We have a bed for him on the back porch and we keep his flea collar up to date. Is this something you could consider? Dawn in NJ

Dear Deborah, I'm so sorry about your cat. I love cats - I have two of these beautiful creatures - Reggie and Hallie. So I know how you feel right now - you can get very attached. Our pets are ******** creation - a wonderful part of God's creation. He gave us our pets to be enjoyed and we are to be good stewards over them. But my husband and I decided that if an animal in our home ever became a nuisance that we would get rid of them or have them put down. Yes, it is difficult but I feel it is part of our stewardship. That is why we have our cats fixed and declawed. I would start not liking them if they destroyed our furniture, etc. You have had a lot of good years with your cat and now it is very hard to let go - I will be praying for you! God Bless, Lynda Phil. 4:8

Aw honey~ I am praying for you and your lil' kitty.

Deborah, What did you end up doing yesterday? God bless, Dawn
