Hey Natty Honey. That is really a beautiful snapshot. I would love to see those eyes in the morning. I hope you having lots of fun, and taking good care of yourself. Please pray. I want you to know that I love you and I will not abandon you inshaAllah. Someday, we will be married inshaAllah.
People dump their cats in my yard, and expect me to take care of them. When they are young and small, it is the abandonment that takes a toll on them, and they are already sick by the time I find them. The weather was hot and dry, and they caught pneumonia! I knew I would not be able to save Bob Cat III. But I found it curious that he would always move towards the water, and would prefer to get wet. As with his brother Marmalade, he died last night at midnight and I buried him then. I had already dug the grave, because it's almost impossible to save a cat from pneumonia. I brought him inside, and kept him warm and dry as best as I could. The other cats, their attitude was "go ahead and die". What complicated Marmalade's pneumonia is that he also caught a fever. So I had to keep him warm and dry AND cool him down. So I did my best to fight for the life of this baby cat. My bedroom is hot, so when the fever hit I couldn't keep him in there with me. I let him cool down by the bathroom door. At one point, I saw some hope: he was becoming more active and breathing easily. I checked up on him every 10-20 minutes, to keep his mouth and nose dry. Then about 11:30 pm I went to check on him, and he had stuck his head into the drinking water bowl and tried to drown himself! It was too late for him after that. I held him in my arms until he died, then I could bury him.
Ya Allah, I didn't want to experience that. That made me feel awful. I guess the lesson I had to learn is that those were kittens, not children.
