The Divine Path of Our Cat Spotty


This is a picture of our cat Spotty, who loves to look at the back door and imagine herself outside frolickling and chasing birds. However, Spotty is now officially an indoor cat.

You see, the first thing she does when she gets outside is to find the tallest tree in the entire yard and then proceed to climb to the tippy, tippy, top literally hanging on by a limb where she can't seem to find her way down.

Oh, yes, mayhem galore here at the Lyman household when Spotty is stuck in a tree. My daughters, Ashley, 9 and Rebecca 6, quickly transform from happy little girls into a complete frenzy fearing for Spotty's life. Me, on the other hand, go straight to the garage to fetch the ladder. More than once, Spotty has climbed so high that I could not reach her with the ladder (by the way, the fire department does not rescue cats anymore). However, Spotty has her angels that surround her and have come to her rescue....more than once I might mention:)

One day, in the midst of a "Spotty tree climbing episode", the entire neighborhood came out to help but no one seemed to be able to get Spotty down. Then, one of my neighbors sons called Save-a-Pet who directed him to a local tree service company who may have the equipment to get her down. By the grace of God, this gentleman came and rescued Spotty for us:) And, he did it free-of-charge:) My daughters will forever be thankful to you Eric from Norse Tree!!

Do you ever find yourself in a position where you feel you have gotten to a point where there is no solution? A point where you feel you have gotten so far into something that there is no way out? Well, I am here..ahem....OK....well, Spotty is here to tell you that you are never too far away from a miracle! Keep believing because when you least expect it, everything can change in your favor!!!!!

Have a wonderful blessed, happy, healthy, and wealthy New Year!!!!!!!!
