Last Sunday my seven year old was filling out prayer cards for Cats "with child" at church asking for "forgiveness." I am positive she had know idea what she was filling out. I had to try my best to keep a straight face during communion as I was watching her do this. Anyway, all was forgotten, until this morning, when I found a cat standing outside the window of her bedroom (which happens to be a fenced in yard). Had the cat heard of her prayer request?
I thought it would be great to get a picture of the cat standing at the window for my blog, but when I came back with the camera, the cat saw me and leaped onto the fence and into our neighbor's yard. I wonder if the cat sensed my true feelings? I am not a pet person. And if I were a pet person I would probably choose a dog over a cat. I am not sure if it has anything to do with the fact that cats like to leave dead rodents on doorsteps (although I suppose if you live in Laguna Beach that is a good thing) or that they creep me out by the way they seem to appear out of nowhere. Or was it that the cats my family had used my beanbag chair as a litter box and were constantly puking up hairballs and grass? Who knows? I just don't like cats. So I guess that makes my own daughter asking forgiveness for cats even funnier. Hopefully, this does not mean she wants a cat? I better say a prayer for that.
