Sweet Little Tiny

Contributed by My Dearest Friend Frankie

Sweet little Tiny is such a bundle of sweet love. I am so glad we found her before she starved to death. I will never forget it was Nov. 26, 2014.  Now, this little Miss is a true rescue. She was dumped out and not even weaned yet, when we found her starving. She fit in the palm of my hand so I named her Tiny.

On bad days, it is always nice to have a sweet little chubby kitty to lift my spirits. Miss Tiny loves to ride on my Rollator Walker. The seat is vinyl so she slides off when I stop, so I put an old cotton pillow, and she rides on it and sleeps on it when it is not in motion. I'm not sure if she thinks it is a ride at Disney or that I am her chauffeur. Of all the cats, she has the sweetest disposition. Funny, I have always heard bad things about black cats, I have two and they are both sweet and loving.

Tiny is the gentlest and most spoiled of them all...lol. She is my baby-est baby!

Kitty Loves Bible Time

1 Oh, the joys of those who do not follow the advice of the wicked, or stand around with sinners, or join in with mockers.

2 But they delight in the law of the LORD, meditating on it day and night.

3 They are like trees planted along the riverbank, bearing fruit each season. Their leaves never wither, and they prosper in all they do.

4 But not the wicked! They are like worthless chaff, scattered by the wind.

5 They will be condemned at the time of judgment. Sinners will have no place among the godly.

6 For the LORD watches over the path of the godly, but the path of the wicked leads to destruction. 

Psalm 1

'Miracle' cat survives 30 wounds from shotgun attack

A cat "miraculously" survived a shotgun attack which left her body riddled with about 30 separate wounds, according to an animal charity.

The RSPCA said three-year-old Puss-Puss will need her eye removing after she was shot near her home in Ardleigh, Colchester, Essex.
She had pellet wounds all over her body and head and the charity described her survival as "miraculous".
Her injuries were only discovered when she returned home on Friday.
Her owner, Doug Taw, remembers hearing gun shots in the area before the black-and-white cat went missing for a week.

Mr Taw said: "I just can't think what sort of person could have done this to her.
"We heard some gunshots but didn't imagine at first it could have anything to do with Puss-Puss.
"Then we found her crouched under a car, frightened and injured. She ran off and we couldn't find her for a week.
"I was beside myself with worry. Then she eventually dragged herself back in a terrible state and we rushed her straight to the vet.
"It is heartbreaking seeing her in such a distressed state, and I am so upset that she will now lose her eye.
"It is a miracle she survived but it's going to take a lot for her to get back to her normal self, and she will obviously always bear the scars now."
RSPCA inspector Adam Jones said: "We were shocked to find that Puss-Puss was peppered with such an extraordinary number of pellet wounds all over her body and head.
"One was in her paw, making it hard for her to walk, and another in the middle of her eye - causing a detached retina.
"The vet said two had just missed her spinal cord and it is a miracle she survived."
