We have taken in a cat that was beaten and abandoned. It acted and looks very much like that cat. The timing of his arrival at our door, corresponded with a time of terror that a family member had just gone through. Her heart related to the distrust and fear of that cat. The two of them found mutual understanding and therapy in each other. The cat now “talks” to us all of the time. He bangs his head against our legs to say thank you, every time we feed him or give him attention. His purr is hoarse and uneven but loud. His ears are tattered. His fur is permanently missing in places. However, he is now loyal, loving and appreciative. He only hisses and snarls if someone makes the mistake of lifting a shovel or rake out in his presence. Evidently the sight of a long heavy object brings back awful memories and fear. The family member reacts the same way around certain “triggers”.
I wonder how many of us react to loud hissing visitors as unwanted and hopeless, when they step into our lives, acting just like that cat . . .
That is crazy. My Aunt had a cat that would act the same way around children. The cat’s name was Tiger. As kids we were so scared to go over to her house because of the cat.
Fluffy!! You’ve been found!! We’ve been looking all over for you! Seriously. Kill the poor thing. Exactly what I would like done to me if I get like that. Wait–
This is a slightly nicer version of a cat I used to own. I will never own a cat again, never, ever, ever.

poor choice for a christian blog thatis trying to teach “compassion” for those in need. you all need a lesson in the reaching out to the least of these. If the children in Uganda are ugly and hurt will you reject them too?
I will never go to a Christian blog again never ever ever.

I apologize for the over reaction. To me the video was sad, not a reason to dislike cats.
Thanks for coming by FlowerDust…we were just having a little fun. I actually have two cats (one which was abused) that we have adopted. Some people just aren’t fond of them. :) I hope you will stick around and notice how much love the community here really expresses. They are great.

pms?
put that cat out of our misery. terry will happily run it over for free.
oh. my. word.
what’s even funnier, is as soon as i started playing that, my cat went nuts and jumped up on my laptop. no joke.
exactly why cat hunting should be legal
That is absolutely horrifying.
I showed it to my cat “Mr. Bubs” and he did nothing. Hmm, he must’ve thought he could take’em!
Yikes.
probably just scared of the camera.
Why I am a dog person
scary…………………
i think i dated her back in high school once.
See…. there IS a such thing as demon-possession.
Don’t watch this if you have cats in the room. Just don’t.
Well, I bet everyone is lining up to adopt that little kitty.
Whose cat is it?…if I may ask…
This why Craig Groeschal hates cats.
Thanks for that and also the reminder of why I have a dog.
I played this video while my wife was in the other room and she said “Is there a cat dying outside our window?!”
BTW, did you show this to Craig?

This is why I fear cats.
Did I already mention that to have a cat is a poor choice in life?
lol@Scott
We should trade stories lol

I’m w/ Craig, cats are evil!
I think that’s my old cat. He slept in a car engine and tried to rip my hand off.
Further proof that all cats go to hell!!!
