Graycee- The Cat God Sent


We have another cat!  Kristen has a new sister.
Sunday Sarah Kate told me there was a cat at the door.  I saw a young cat trying to get in.  She was scratching at the door.
Emily prayed right then and there that we could keep the cat.  When Emily went to bed she asked me to pray the cat would stay with us forever.

Got up Monday and she was still there.

I fed her and gave her water.  I KNEW we had a cat then. ha!  She was STARVING!!!!  I asked some folks in the neighborhood about her.  Nobody knows who she belongs to.  But, another neighbor has a cat that looks just like her hanging out at there house too.
I took her to the vet and the tested to see if she had a micro chip.  She did not.  I got her some shots and flea control.
She is going to be our outside cat.  Emily is SOOO SOOOO HAPPY!!!!  Sarah Kate is pretty thrilled herself.

I have so been wanting the girls to have a pet that they could love on and would love them back.  It was a new experience for us to take a cat to the vet and the whole office staff did not have to gear up and wear armored gloves and use a steal blanket.  We are enjoying a loving cat.
I know Kristen is really mean, but I love her!!!!  She seems okay with this cat haning out in our yard.

We hope Graycee is here to stay and the girls are going to get to love on her for many years.

The Cat that God Sent.

I just don't know what to think about that title.

I love how your girls stop and pray at the very moment they need God to intervene!! There is nothing like child-like faith. You are a great mom!

We just adopted a kitten yesterday named Greycie! So fun! My girls keep telling me that they can't believe that we have a cat that we can keep forever. Your little Graycee is adorable.

God sent us a similar, sweet, loving, starving little kitty last year (~4 months after our cat of 8 yrs became sick & passed away). My daughter (almost 7 then) was so excited to have a cat & named her Lily! She has been a great pet for us & tolerates everything from my 2 kiddos. She is loved & snuggled so much, prob too much for her liking some days. My daughter, Grace, even dresses her up in doll & dog clothes! Congrats on a loving cat for your girls! Love to read your blog! :)

How are you keeping her in your yard? We tried having an outdoor cat that was a stray, but heard unless you have a pen for them, you cannot keep them. My son would have LOVED it it Cookie could have stayed. Do tell your "not let it wander" secrets. I love how you describe Kristen!

Oh she's so pretty! That's great that you kept her. She looks like my cat, Daisy.
