Redneck Kitty Reunion

We didn't want to mention it last week, but our kittens disappeared! One day, Fluffy (the mama kitty) sat in our front yard staring at me as I left for work. I could hear, off in the distance, a kitten crying loudly, but there was no way to tell what part of the woods it was in. Fluffy looked so expectantly, it was breaking my heart, but I couldn't stay and help her figure it out.

Last night, Mr. Contraptioneer and I, along with a small group of musicians, led music for a local "Concert of Prayer" where we united with the community to ask God to bring us together, to heal our land, to guide our leaders, etc. We hadn't seen the kittens for at least 4 days, and the sight of Fluffy eating on the porch by herself every morning, looking left, then right, was just so sad! As I prepared to go to the Concert of Prayer, I told God that I knew he cared about the details of our lives as well, and to please free the kittens from wherever they are so that they can come home.

! This morning was a redneck kitten reunion! Three of the four are back, and Fluffy couldn't be happier!! As you can see, they are very cautious and scattered and hid when the 'human feeder' emerged with breakfast, but the were excited to see it was him and could hardly wait to join mom. As they all snuggled close to mom, whiskers and tails entwined :-) it was a fabulous reuniting of fur!!

*A word of explanation* The term Redneck Kitties does not refer to a new breed, but rather a kitty lifestyle that would be considered, well, something other than high society.
