Thanks guys! Mittens has been with us for a year & 2 months now. She doesn't wander far and beyond my cul-de-sac, as if she wants to be sure that she's there to greet us when we leave/come home, and between my parents & us, we see her many times a day so we'd know right away if she's missing.Originally Posted by cassiesmom
She mostly stays in our front yard, but some times I do see her walks back and forth to the neighbors' houses. Luckily everybody is aware of her existence, so they all watch out for her & make sure she's not being run over by accidents. I think Mittens have learned to move away from the car when she hears the engine started. I've noticed that many, many times. Where I live there are no wild life, so that's also a good thing.
I know God answers prayers (even the ones we didn't specifically asked for!), but it always amazes me how He does it in a way least expected. I'd always wanted to add a cat to our bunch, and have asked for it many times, but my husband always said no (he was not a cat person ) - then we bought our house & voila ... there was our cat!! . Mittens turns my husband into a cat-person in no time. He has embraced the responsibility to feed her & play with her. He bought her a scratch post & lowers his van's window at night so Mittens can sleep inside if she wants. Awww. It feels so good to see my husband caring for Mittens because I know how much he's previously opposed to us having a cat , and she returns his love in 10 folds by always come to sit right beside him when he's out in the front yard tending to the grass or flowers.
