God Cares

Sylvester was eating today! I was getting really concerned. I scheduled an appointment with the vet and was told I could bring him in sooner if need be. 

Thursday, I had tried everything. Can food, dry food, cottage cheese, kitten food, yogurt.. Nothing. He had absolutely no interest in any of it. 

So, I put his harness and leash on him and took him outside. He loves to go out on his leash and explore. First thing he did was plop down and start eating the grass. So we stayed out for about 10-15 minutes and I let him graze. 

Once inside he did throw up again, but only a little bit. Less than half of the grass he ate. I took that for a good sign. On Friday he cryed at the door to go out again, so once again we went out and grazed for about 10-15 minutes. No throwing up this time. 

He showed a little interest when he heard me passing out treats, sniffed the kibble but didn't eat it. He did however, eat a small amount of the catnip. Again, no throwing up.

This morning he ate a bit more catnip, cried to go outside, and once again we went out for about 10 minutes to graze. After we came in I noticed him up on the cat tree but the dining area and heard the crunching of kibbles. When he came out of the hut, licking his lips, I knew he ate a bit of dry kibbles. 

There have been many prayers said the last few days, and I thank everyone that cared about Sylvester and prayed for him. YES, God cares about our animals. They are as we are, one of his own creations. He knows our hearts and knows when we love them like family. Even prayers for our fur babies can be heard and answered. 

Scripture tells us, that God knows the number of hairs on our heads. For Him to be so meticulous and know us in such detail, just confirms how much He cares about every little thing in this world. God wants us to love one another He also wants us to love and care for the creatures in our world. 

Miracles happen every day some big some small. We are so blessed to be loved so much that even our feelings for our pets/fur babies MATTER TO HIM. I'm sure He is just as disturbed as we are about all the abuse that is happening around the world towards the animal kingdom.

Why does God allow it? Because God gave us free will and the ability to choose if we wish to be good or evil. He will deal with the abusers and evil doers in the end when the time comes. And then, at that time, justice will prevail over all those who have mistreated everything. From the tiniest mouse to the largest elephant and everything in between. 

When you hear about or see all the evil doing going on in the world today, you have to see the gates of hell are open and it won't be long now for JUDGEMENT DAY.  Question is, which side of judgement will we be standing on. 

As humans we were charged with the job of caring for God's creatures. Love one another and do good.

Please pray for Sylvester

 I need prayers for Sylvester. He started throwing up last weekend. Sunday I think was the first day. He hasn't eaten anything since. He's drinking water. The first couple days he hung out under the bed, didn't socialize like usual at all. A couple days ago he's finally starting to come out and sleep on his perch for short naps, and is spending a little bit of time out with the family. He has no interest in food dry or can. Doesn't want his treats and didn't even want any catnip. No milk, cottage cheese, I even offered him the kitten's food to no avail. I took him outside on his leash today {his favorite thing to do} and he ate a bit of grass. Then he threw up about half of what he ate almost as soon as we got back inside. We have a vet appointment next Wednesday but even the vet is concerned at how long he's gone without eating. I'm concerned, but I know God loves the animals and He cares about those we love. Please say a prayer
