MEOW!

It was a MOST unusual full moon last night! Actually I'd been feeling the energy of it the last few days, but yesterday just seemed to be full of unpredicability.

Emilee and I went to run a few errands and ended up at Sonic, where we unexpectedly (and happily!) met up with some friends. After we got home, I got so productive working that hours flew by. Next thing I knew it was 10pm and I was still convincing Emilee it was time for bed (like mother, like daughter!).

Suddenly, we heard the loudest, most pitiful meows coming from downstairs. I had left the front door open for the delightful breeze. Bella (our wonderful kitty) went running to see "who" it was...Outside the storm door on the front porch was the most desperate looking kitten! She was meowing and pawing at the glass, little nose up against the window...Bella was on the inside meowing back to her, big compassionate eyes looking at kitten, looking at me, looking at kitten and pawing back at the little thing on the other side of the glass.

Emilee of course said, "Let it in, let it in!". I thought about it a few moments, but that poor little thing looked too desperate for me to linger any longer. I picked up Bella (to ensure no unexpected cat fight!) and Em opened the door. That little thing just flew in the door and headed right for Bella's food dish all the way in the kitchen!

Once she got there, she devoured all the food left in the bowl. Then, resumed meowing. Funny thing is, Bella just sat and watched while the kitten ate her food. I think she knew. When kitten's belly was a little less hungry, she was feeling her "oats" apparently and decided to start trouble with Bella - hissing and growling. She explored to her heart's content and decided we had "acceptable" living quarters. Bella was incredibly patient with her, and while there were some exchanged hiss & growls, no paws were unsheathed for a fight ;). Mostly Bella just walked away or sat staring in uncharacteristic tolerance as the kitten did her best to appear big, strong, and mean. Wow.

I got a can of soft food from the pantry and put it on a paper plate. Kitten ate that too! It was obvious now that this kitty would be "overnighting" with us, so I set her up in our downstairs bathroom...litter box, food, water, bed.

Finally, by about 1am, Em and I got to bed.

This morning, kitten, now "temporarily" named Luna (came to us on the full moon and she's a bit of a luna-tic!)...is making herself totally at home. Ate a can of tuna, napping on and off, tormenting Bella now and again, exploring.

Poor little thing is fur and bones!!! I'm guessing she's about 4 months old is all. No telling how long she's been trying to survive out there on her own. We're checking to see if there are any "lost kitten" reports she matches and we'll run a "found" ad in the paper.

I have no illusions about how this usually goes. Still, I can't help but wonder if this is a message (Sarah Seidelmann, any thoughts? She had a lot to say, but I couldn't understand a word of it! Ha...), or part of some Divine plan I know nothing about right now.

Interesting how life works, isn't it? Synchronistic timing...The unfolding of unexpected blessings...Here I am on this journey to wellness and now a kitten - fighting for her survival (surely she was on her way to starvation) shows up at my front door asking for help - trusting that I will and throwing every last drop of her feisty fight for life at what must seem a large fluffy beast...saying with all her might, "I'm here, I'm getting what I need, and there's nothing you can do to stop me!" Hehe...

Can't help but think there's a message here. And you know what - kitties always seem to show up exactly when I need them - to inspire me, shift my focus, fill me joy, and purrrr me right into the vortex ;). How cool is that?!

Next post I'll fill you in on some test results...

Have a wonderful, sensual Friday evening!
