Who knows, someday God will restore back everything we lost, in his coming Kingdom. Animals don’t have souls no. they die it becomes a dead.  Resurrection is when a man’s departed soul returns back to his body and his original body is brought back to life by joining his soul to his body by God.

Who knows God can give life back to the same dead animal, (different from resurrection) more like a restoration in future.

Cat is very heavy and sad,  I was taking care of a small kitten, but it was far, I was down here , and the kitten was in Philippines, a very close “adopted” family member of mine, was taking care of that kitten. She had found that kitten abandoned by its mother. The kitten kept mewing daily and helplessly, when I was told about it, I couldn’t bear, and I asked she would prepare a milk dropper and put milk and feed the kitten. It was important, cos the kitten needs the mother’s milk, but the mother cat was no where to be seen.

Even then I noticed how God would take care of even smallest things, I had wept and asked God that he would somehow take care of that kitten, cos it was small and weak, we named it chikka. Chikka is the name of an instant messenger in Philippines, so I named the kitten after that.

Chikka began to drink and became stronger, and you know what? God even send another cat that had kittens, to be a surrogate mother to chikka. We had asked in prayer He would do that.

One evening, when those “adopted” family members went out to mall and came back, Chikka was gone and it was dark, so they took a lamp and went out and found chikka almost to fall near the storm drain. I was so happy she was found. I also felt what God may have felt. Again Chikka got lost, this time falling in a hole, as that small kitten was moving around lot, she was found again.

Today morning, when they prepared some milk and went to feed chikka, they found her dead in the small box, it was well ventilated and had cushions in it to keep it warm.

Cat is very sad now, whatever I get is taken away from me.

May be everyone thinks kittens and cats are weak and sissy things, then let me end by saying this, I come from a  country in Asia (not Philippines)  wrecked with violence and wars and bombings and killings, I saw it all my life,  it was small things like kittens that taught many around us to care and compassion and simple joy.

How much I wanted to bring chikka to New Zealand, along with the adopted family members, from Philippines, now chikka is gone.

Cat climbs back the Trashbin and sits quietly now. Who knows? Someday God will bring chikka back. I don’t want any other new kitten from dust, I want chikka back. And Cat wont argue on a religious debate with theologians whether God will bring that kitten back in future.  Cat only wants chikka to come back that’s all.
 

Sadly yours

Trashbin Cat
