miracles

Some days should not be forgotten. Some days cannot be. Today is the progeny of those kind of days.
Barbara, John and i finally set out to catch the 2 feral kittens living in our backyard, and yes they are Crookshank's siblings. Fluffy white, light blue eyes and the sweetest things to behold. But SO FERAL. This arvo, when the mother cat was out, we armed ourselves with 2 boxes, tape, a blade and a towel- and us of course. When John caught one behind a banana tree, it bit him so hard that blood rushed out straight away..He dropped it into the box i presided over and this is where i felt the hands of God working with us.. the kit squirmed out of the box at least twice - and yet i caught it unassailed each time o_O" *if u hold a kitten's rump there's little they can do except squirm, unpleasant but manageable* Barbara also felt God's blessing. The other kitten, by then scared out of its wits, had ran anywhere that didn't have us near it.. we were close to giving up when i shuggested they hose down its hiding spot.. it worked and we went on another obstacle run before it climbed a very dense tree and jumped on a fence.. Barbara recalled later that she could see nothing stopping it from running off but it stayed (tho it was visibly trembling) whilst she approached it softly saying "here, puss puss.." before throwing a towel over it and locking it in her arms. What a miracle.

Somehow we managed to get both kittens into the box without the other making a run for it. We took them to the RSPCA straight after. And.. that's a load off our minds. Fleas, screeching undesexed cats running around, and a whole host of diseases. At least they won't be coming from those 2 little furballs:) I pray that they'll find an owner who won't mind waiting a while to tame them, say a few years:P No doubt we'll be earbashed by their mother's cries when it really hits her but Barbara's getting a trap for her now, so she can be taken in too, and spared the agony of breeding incessantly.

Other news alert: I'm in Fellowship now!!! Yesterday was the official day. Feel free to congratulate me:P But yes, I'm very happy. I can't think of a better way to spend my Sundays than to praise and worship God with other people who adore Him too.
