Wonderful news! Jay and I are going to try to keep a cat again! I’m so very happy since I have had a void in my life ever since we gave Abbie last May.
Abbie was my orange kitty for 8 years. After we got married, Jay and I began to realize he was allergy to Abbie. Jay’s throat kept on swelling up. After ten months of trying different things, we were left to the last resort- putting Abbie up for adoption through the local animal shelter. It broke my heart. And even though my baby found a good home after 3 days, it didn’t really make it any easier.
Abbie is a cat, but in a strange way, she was my best friend. She was there through all my joys and through all my letdowns. Losing her was hard, but I took comfort knowing God would use Abbie as a blessing for someone else.
Jay has found other things that he was allergic to, so he thought we should try living with a cat again. I love him for wanting to fill the void. That is why we are going to keep the cutest fur ball named Libby for two weeks. We want to see if Jay is truly allergic to cats.
Libby is multi-colored with orange eyes. She is the most loving and behaved cat ever. She is around a year old, but we don’t have an exact birthday. Therefore, I’m declaring today–March 21st– as Libby’s birthday.
I’m so happy, and I pray that we can keep her!
Update: There is no question about it. Jay is allergic to cats. Therefore, we gave Libby to our very good friends.
I love my husband for trying!
