Goodbye, Floofy

 

Aw Natty, don't you worry so much OK?  Everything is going to work out just great for us inshaAllah.  Please try to keep calm and healthy, and enjoy your position.  You are MY girl, and I will marry you inshaAllah.  I love you with all of my heart.  And you're beautiful.  You're so very beautiful.

Floofy passed away at 1:40 am today.  That cat had many medical problems throughout her life.  In spite of that, she had strength, courage, faithful love and a lucid intelligence that lasted until her dying breath.  I really loved her.  Ya Allah, thank You for our time together.  Floofy's death confirmed to me that someone started a cult among the Jews that use me as their focus.  I hereby confirm that I reject such followers.  I am not a prophet nor religious leader.  I am a musician, and my religion is Islam.  I am a follower of Muhammad (peace be on him).  He was of the cult of Abraham (peace be on him), who joined not any partners with Allah.  If the people need to follow someone, then they must follow prophet Muhammad (peace be on him).

In other news, the server that managed the karaoke stream was shut off today.  I'm sure that that is disappointing for you people who use their cell phones to listen to the music.  If that happened, you folks will have to log into Second Life then spy into the karaoke sim in order to hear Mary Unknown7 sing.  I think it's better for business and socially that you folks log into Second Life.  At the same time I think this situation is potentially obnoxious, so when I find an alternative to the current stream, I will announce it here on this blog inshaAllah.

Qur'an 20200917

 In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.

14.  The Arabs say, "We believe."  Say, "You have no faith, but you say, 'We have submitted our wills to God,' for not yet has faith entered your hearts.  But if you obey Allah and God's messenger, God will not belittle aught of your deeds, for Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful."

15.  Only those are believers who have believed in Allah and God's messenger and have never since doubted, but have striven with their belongings and their persons in the Cause of Allah: such are the sincere ones.

16.  Say, "What!  Will you instruct Allah about your religion?  But Allah knows all that is in the heavens and on earth: God has Full Knowledge of all things."

17.  They impress on you as a favor that they have embraced Islam.  Say, "Count not your Islam as a favor upon me.  No, Allah has conferred a favor upon you, that God has guided you to the faith, if you be true and sincere."

18.  Verily Allah Knows the secrets of the heavens and the earth, and Allah sees well all that you do.

The Inner Apartments 49:14-18

Still alive

 Oh Natty, Floofy is dying.  When I went to give her her antibiotics at 10 pm last night, she looked a dying cat.  She would have drowned in her own pee if I hadn't pulled her head up, and blotted out the moisture on her body.  I knew then I had to say goodbye to my beloved and faithful friend.  So I stayed by her side most of last night, until 2 am when I had to go to bed because I couldn't sleep by Floofy's side because Lily was all over me, and Lookie was pacing around frantically.  I had already dug a grave about midnight last night.  My vigil continued into the next day, and I swear Floofy was dead: she was on her side in that cat death stance, she wasn't breathing, and her eyes were open and glassy.  But when I moved her, she came back to life.  This happened 3 times.  Floofy has a strong mind, but I don't know why she's hanging on so tightly.  It's sunset now, and she's still alive.  I have the radio playing for her.  I have one more task to do then I'll stay by her side again tonight, and wait.  I've begged Allah not to take my cat, but I know that she was never my cat.  She belongs to Allah.

One whole fish

 Hi Natty!  How are you today, my love?  I pray that all is well with you.  Are you hungry?  I just finished my dinner.  It was steamed rice with basil, garlic, chicken and tofu cooked in soy sauce and fish broth.  Yeah the basil looked really good today, so I had to use that somehow.  The fish broth came from a fish I steamed for Floofy.  It's been on the edge for my precious Floofy.  I thought I had to dig a grave today, but I kept telling myself "not yet, not yet".  I'm really bummed out about my kitty.  She hadn't been eating much, and her hind legs are weak.  She's still bloated, but the pee has been coming out but slowly.  At least it doesn't reek as much anymore, but I still have to bathe her regularly.  She wasn't looking good at ate.  Floofy has cheated death many times before mashaAllah, but I don't know about this time.  I was really worried, but today after Mary's voice session she ate a whole fish!  Alhamdulillah!  So now I feel so much better.  And Floofy is looking much better, too.

Monday

 Hi Natty!  How are you?  I hope all is well with you.  It's Monday over here for me.  Not much going on, just the usual.  Floofy is still bloated, but the pee is coming out.  Slowly.  At least it's coming out.  It looks like a slow heal, though.  I'm scared that she might not be the same again, that's always a fear of that with pets (people too) after a health crisis.  She is eating, though.  I went and bought some fish, then slow cooked it.  When it was done, I took out the fish and cooled it, then cooked some rice with the broth.  Then I mixed in the fish meat into the soggy rice.  Floofy definitely wanted the fish, but not with rice.  Oh well.  At least she's eating.  The other cats love the stuff though.  Looks like I'll have to buy more fish tomorrow.  I just gave her a bath, now she's sulking under the cabinets.  Ya Allah, please heal my Floofy.  Not much going on with my menu.  I had ramen for lunch.  I love ramen!  I don't use chopsticks though.  And for dinner, I bought some takeout rice over at the night market by the crossroads.  Anyway, you take care and have fun OK?  I love you!

God save the cat

 Do you have a cold, Natty?  Please neutralize all the symptoms immediately, especially the runny nose.  Please take sweet loving care of your health, as I am not there to doctor you.

Not that I'm the best doctor.  I need God to help me save my cat.  Floofy is at the point where she is oozing pee.  That's good, since it's coming out.  What's bad is that she was drenched in pee all day.  I would wash it off, and she would be soaked in pee again an hour later.  I didn't want to keep bathing her, but don't you think that that would be better than being soaked in pee?  It reeks!  Without saying, it was a stressful day for my poor kitty.  Feeding time was another issue.  She doesn't want chicken anymore.  I thought she would settle for rice, like she ate a little bit of my takeout rice during my breakfast, but it's not the rice she wants.  She now wants fish.  I don't have any fish in the house right now, I will have to get some tomorrow.  I did have some fish cake, and she ate a little of that.  At least I know what she wants now, alhamdulillah.  Ya Allah, please heal my Natty and my kitty.

The Smoke

 I recognize that skyline, Natty.  When the sun gets blotted out by haze, that's happened around here due to massive burning in neighboring countries.  So that's probably from the California wildfires.  Google says the California fires were started by lightning, while the Oregon fires were started by trees falling on power lines.  Wild and forest fires have been happening forever.  Usually it clears up with the rain, sometimes it takes more rain than others.  But the smoke that won't go away, that's new.  The smoke is prophesied in the Qur'an as being a sign of Judgement Day.  Divine providence is always in reaction to human transgression, like the coronavirus ravaging an economic system where the poor deserve to die.  But few people care about divine providence more than their personal pride, what they can see and touch, or the cash on the table.  And that's the point: God will stick it to the humans in a way they will understand and accept, because they treated the earth like their own personal pedestal and trash can, and because they treated God like a non-factor.  This happens on Judgement Day and we all will have to wait until then, because God is actually really nice.

But if lightning caused the fires, how is it the humans' fault?  Well, if the air is already saturated with smog then the sun can get faster blotted out by the smoke.  Perhaps the smoke will go away with the rain.  Maybe.  Eventually it won't go away at all.

Natty, from those palm trees I guess that you're still in California.  Please keep your distance from others, and neutralize even the slightest sensation of a cold or flu symptom.  If you have to work then you have to work, but please protect your health because you are my girl, and I love you.  Please protect your health for us.
