I had kittens born on my farm 8 years ago....almost 3 years ago another cat shows up and 2 of my 3 leave...presumably mad. Tony came back a few weeks later and Levi never returned. Noah looks like a smaller version of Levi and has never left. Tony would come and go...I thought,hopefully, to visit Levi who might be incarcerated in some well meaning person's home.  Tony would leave for weeks and come back...this went on until late last fall...I haven't seem him
since:-(.  I have missed my cats and have prayed they would return despite many telling me they may have become coyote food.  Wednesday, lo and behold, Levi was on my deck....I thought Tony would show up,but, doubted I would see Levi. In the week prior I slipped a couple of times and called Noah, Levi..,was the Holy Spirit telling something? I was so overjoyed and shocked I gathered him up sobbing and thanking God for bringing him back...he was so thin and his coat dry and bleached out. He slept on the deck a couple of hours after eating and I haven't seen him since....this is worse, almost.
God has always spoken through my animals to me....all have meaningful names and came to me with them, except my cats, I named them. Now....I said all that to ask this...What significance does anyone discern that a cat named Levi would be gone 33 months and return? I cannot say that he is gone for good (or bad) I just haven't seen him again. This is not a post on how  to get my cat back....it is all metaphoric and I would appreciate feedback to add to my own thoughts. Thanks so much...Robin B
