"Wisdom is Better than Silver or Gold"


We adopted this cat two months (ish) back.

She is pregnant.

She is blind.

and I am allergic to her.

She is the sweetest creature I have ever seen. I love her so much. I just want to pick her up, hold her, stroke her little beard chin, cuddle her, and show her how much I love her. 

But I can't

because I will sneeze and get a scratchy throat.

She cannot see me,

and I cannot touch her.

I talk to her but she does not know what I am saying.

I am there, though, whether she knows it or not. I come in the room, I fix her bed, I give her food and water, I clean her litter box, I made her a nice place to have her kittens. I love her.  Though she may not know it. I provide her with what she needs. Unconditional love at its finest for I get nothing in return but to see her cute little nose and hear her meow.

Now, I see how much my HP loves me. He wants to just reach out and show me and have me feel it but He can't.  When I acknowledge His love, I feel better, though.  When I pray to Him, I feel ease.  When I admit his presence, I can "feel" it.  He shows me coincidence and signs.  He talks to me in his own way. I will never really know Him but I can believe. I can have faith. I can acknowledge the miracles I have been granted through this program. I can be grateful for what I have.  My needs are met. I am one lucky human. I can love Him in only the way this human knows how.  I will show love to others and I will continue to pray and be grateful for my blessings.

Oh so true Michelle!!! I do believe that Wisdom is a powerful gift that cannot be purchased with Silver or Gold

I love that you have provided a safe place for such a vulnerable little creature. Your love for Kitty and Little Kitty's benefiting from your love is a good analogy to HP's love

Take care

Is it touching her that gives you the reaction or just being near her fur...
I just wondered if you could pat her with one of those gloves that groom the cat at the same time... or just some cotton gloves on. For me, I woudl go to the extent of even putting on a mask and gloves
But I know I am a bit of a sucker and would do absolutely anything at all for my furry ones. Bit extreme at times I know.

How beautiful she is having babies.... do you let her out? How did your blind cat get to a boy cat, or was she pregnant when you got her?
I just love cats

I thought the same thing the glove thing. But it may be the dander in the air too.
I'm a cat lover too. I have 3 myself. Michelle she knows what you are saying and
she knows you love her and are doing all that for her. Good Luck.

I think its her dander. I thought about a mask too. Haha. I am hoping my body will adjust because I was allergic to our other cat and got used to her within months.. I am worse with this one. She was pregnant when we got her but we did not realize. She was living in a barn. I will figure out a way to love her eventually but for the time being I thought of it ironic b/c it reminded me of my HP's love. Maybe in a few months ill be used to her dander. I will let you all know.
