Watching Miss Kitty and her little ones brought peace to me. I can forget what's going on out in the world and concentrate on the peace right here with Miss Kitty and her little ones.

We had to wait until this little kitty had grown to the place where she
could eat for itself. Then, finally, we found someone who wanted the 
kitty and so we gave it to them. 

The appointment for the neutering had been made. 

I went along with it, after all, what else could I do. 

Several days before the appointment, I looked at Miss Kitty and noticed
that her belly was expanding like before. Of course, I kept this as 
quiet as possible, but you know how that works. 

Looking out onto the porch, my wife said, "Oh, no, it can't be so." 

Not knowing what she was talking about, I inquired, and was informed she
thought Miss Kitty was pregnant again. 

After a few days of observation, she concluded that she was pregnant.
Then she had to call the neutering service and cancel the appointment. 
You can't neuter a pregnant kitty. 

She looked at me with a sour grimace and said, "You better not be
laughing." 

I often laugh on the inside and try to keep it from the outside. So I
was, and I wasn't going to tell her, very happy that we will have some 
more little kitties. 

In due time she did have her kitties, and this time she had four
kitties, and all of them lived. It must be the same father because one 
of them was all white. 

What we're going to do with all those little kitties, I'm not quite
sure. But I'm going to enjoy them while we have them. 

As I was watching Miss Kitty nurse her little kitties, I thought of a
Bible verse. "When a man's ways please the LORD, he maketh even his 
enemies to be at peace with him" (Proverbs 16:7). 

Watching Miss Kitty and her little ones brought peace to me. I can
forget what's going on out in the world and concentrate on the peace 
right here with Miss Kitty and her little ones.
