The Miracle of life


Our cat had her kittens yesterday afternoon. Her name is Kit, she has lived with us about a year and a half now. My daughter talked us into giving her a home with all kinds of promises of having her spayed---did not happen.
This cat was a small kitten herself, that apparently someone had dumped, we had just the month before lost a tom cat that we dearly loved. It was hard to even think about another cat with the loss so great still on our hearts.
My daughter is 22 and she is gone much more than home, so Kit bonded with me. She loves Jerry and Cayla, but I am the one who feeds her and lets her in and out of the house, cleans her litter box and lets her sit in my lap.
The wonder of this all to me is how she knew exactly what to do. She has never been around any other cats, but she delivered 4 healthy kittens and never even cried, just like she had taken classes on how to give birth and how to nurse babies.
Isn't the creation of God amazing? These brand new babies have awed me, just knowing that God created them and God created Kit and gave her all she needs to be a good Mother to her kittens.
