Please
keep Sky in your prayers!

Hello,
This is Sky! On Friday June 1st, 2002 I first
heard of this darling kitten. Actually I was
shown this picture to the left before I heard
anything of her. I'm not sure of all the details
but will share them as I get them straight. What
I do know is a dear sister in Christ, Sue, sent
me this picture the second I saw it I feel in
love. How could I not, she's such a darling. Well
Sue told me she was going to need a home but that
she may not live. It seems she was attacked by a
dog and injured pretty badly. Sky, who at this
point did not have the name Sky, is about 4 weeks
old and Sue's daughter Kim is caring for her.
Feeding her with an eye dropper, formula with
antibotics in it.
When I showed my son Shane this same picture a
few minutes later he said the same thing I did,
"I want her!" That was enough for me, I
instantly messaged Sue and told her we wanted the
kitten and at the same time Shane named her
"Sky" because of the color of her eyes

Report and more pictures from Kim. "sky saying hi.. and
eating.. she ate twice the
amount she usually does tonight.. and she is
getting stronger.. she can climb out of
this little bed she is using..somthing she
couldnt do yesterday..so far so good.."
Shane and I went to the pet store earlier today
to get fish food and they had a kitten there that
looked almost exactly like Sky, eyes weren't as
blue but we sat and played with it for half an
hour - we're not excited, no, not at all. Almost
got a litter box today too but talked myself out
of it. Project tomorrow is we're going to build
one of those scratching post tree house things
that are covered with carpet - we have some scrap
lumber and pieces of carpet that will work great
:)

When I
first saw this picture it broke my heart, not a
very good new mother am I to not be the one
taking care of my little baby. Then I realized
the Lord blessed us double. 1st giving us the
kitten we've longed for for so long and 2nd
giving us Kim to care for her until we can. Not
only praying for Sky's health tonight but asking
for special blessings to come Kim's way.

Sky ate some moist cat food tonight. After the
formula Kim give her a teaspoon of the mushy
canned stuff and she wolfed it down. That is a
good sign. She wasn't interested in it yesterday.
She is maturing fast. Thinking she will make it
if she doesn't get phenomena or diarrhea. That is
what most young kittens die of.
Today she got to walk around a bit. She will
venture out a ways then waddles back Kim. And she
is getting playful. Last night she was pawing at
Kim's hair. Kim is giving her lots of attention
so she'll be a good pet and also trimmed her
front toenails today. They are so sharp her claws
poke Kim when she goes for her milk. Kim will try
introducing her to the litter box to her after
her wounds heal, didn't want her getting grit in
them.

Today Sky hasn't wanted to eat as much. Kim has
been giving her some soft cat food too so that
might be why. The weather is damp and rainy and
she acts like her leg bothers her more today. She
has sneezed a couple times this evening. She made
a rice sock, warmed it in the microwave, then put
it under Sky's bedding. She snuggled right up to
it and started sucking on the fleece. She is
cute.

Sky is okay today. As you can see in the one she
is eating. Her belly is nice and round. Today she
was pretty playful. The one with the brush she
was hiding behind it from me. Then she would run
out and her backside would go faster than her
front and she would trip over herself. lol and
the one with the dog, she doesn't seem to be
afraid of them.. I have to watch lacy. She wants
to play with her and being of collie breed she
likes to use her feet...but sky just wants to
nurse on her. Anyway today she seems fine is
eating pretty good. After the motrin she seemed
fine. I have been keeping her rice sock warm
especially during this wet damp weather, seems to
be the trick. |
