You know what the only good cat is right....? A flat one!

I'm shocked! Such blatant "species-ism"!

No more tofu for you at snack time! And no more TeleTubbie reruns at nap time!

Did you notice this "dog/cat lover" debate is as emotional as the 1962 Missal issue.

I better retire from it while I'm still in one piece.

I was asked to post this picture by a CathInfo member:

Quote

Basil is two years old and now recovering from anaphylactic shock / heart failure due to a bee sting. Outlook still guarded although we just got her home from the veterinary ICU facility. I am told by two Trad friends that both St. Francis and St. Roch ( Italian saint, perhaps not widely known about ) are patrons of animals.

Thank you, Matthew. I am in your debt.

Unfortunately, she is now back in the ER with internal bleeding.

Again, my thanks.

Sorry to hear that about your dog, Anthony Benedict.

I don't have any pictures of my cat to show, but she looked very similar to this cat:

Her markings were very unique like the cat above, and very similar with only a few differences. White fir, gray paws, legs, and ears, gray markings on her face,subtle brown stripes across her back and stomach, and a raccoon tail. She also had blue eyes like the cat above.

Thanks, Spiritus.

Outlook improving following improving symptomology the past 24 hours.

Anthony, I'll sent prayers to St. Francis for your dog.

Please keep us updated on her condition.

Umm... did you say "Racoon tail"

Very, very kind of you, Cheryl.

The Vet just cleared her and we have her home now, symptom free.

Thanks to all for their kindness. These little critters really do tug your heart strings!

And thanks, again, to Matthew for posting Basil's pic.

I have a 7 year old Jack Russel Terror

she is a very good guard dog

This was my Jack Russell, "Buddy". He just died in September after 11 years of being the best dog a fella could have. When I went out to walk to say my Rosary, he was there. When I was praying my office, he was next to me. He always wanted to be near when I was praying.

His legs got worse in the back, from cancer. I took care of him myself for the last five months. Do you know, one day after his legs started to fail, I was outside, and when I came in, he was not in his bed, but after looking around I found him upstairs waiting for me in tHe spot where I would always pray. He climbed each stair with his bad legs, to be up there waiting for me...

Aw, Mathieu. That is a devastatingly touching story. It made me teary eyed. I'm sorry for you that he is gone.

I sense a strong undercurrent of CI member demand for simlar stories.

This could justify the establishment of a new forum category called: "Trad Pets"

How about it Matthew?

Sigismund · « **Reply #41 on:** December 13, 2012, 06:06:10 PM »

Do the pets themselves have to be trads? I am pretty sure my cat is a Calvinist. At least she seems very sure of her predestination to grace.

Our first family dog was a Jack Russell. They are wonderful dogs.

Thank you - I am grateful that Our Lord let me have him for the time I did. I think the last months up to September have helped to make me a much less selfish person - and that is a good thing. :)
