a new Daisy - story

It was in the middle of December last year when I decided to have two weeks off from work end of January/first week of February. One of the reasons was that I thought I could bring Daisy to the vet during that time and have her spayed. But that was just a minor issue because I wanted her to be "in heat" at least once before being spayed (it is said that it is better that way for a young female cat's body).
For all those who know me it is needless to say that I prayed about that part at the same time I got those 2 weeks off confirmed at work. So Monday, January 26th - my first day at home - came, and Daisy hadn't shown any signs, you know...
Do you believe me, that the next day, Tuesday evening, before I could even start being just a little nervous about it, Daisy behaved weird, like I've never seen her before. Making strange noises, crawling and creeping over the floor holding her bottom up... and I thought, ok, that's IT.
I called the vet right the next morning to ask if and when I could have an appointment for the surgery for Daisy. The med. secretary told me, "it" had to be over first bevore Daisy could have the surgery.
As I know from a friend "it" can stay for a couple of days (that certain friend had told me his cat had "it" for more than 4 days in a row), so I prayed again... And know what? Daisy was over "it" Thursday morning! I just waited for the whole day, but nothing else happened, so I called the vet Friday morning again and he said I could come Wednesday (yesterday) to have Daisy spayed.
Don't I have a great heavenly father who cares for my lil cat as well as for my schedule?

Daisy is doing pretty fine today, she started jumping up to her favorite places, is just very slow and careful. You can see she tries to avoid pain.

Yesterday later in the afternoon, when she finally relaxed a little bit after the surgery (Romeo in the background)
she wanted to be in my bed (under the blanket) at all costs, so I built up a little nest for her

Hi Tina, God watches over His children AND His critters!
(My favorite 'dogs go to heaven when' verses is Romans 8:19-21.)
She is a cute cat, just don't let it get habit forming with her sleeping in your bed.

and scroll to April 6, 2007 for the "cat Wisperer." I taught our daughter, Karen's, cat to not sleep in bed with us.

Your postcard painting is nice. I haven't picked one for you yet. Here is a picture similar to what you painted:
