The Neighbor's Dog Killed My Kitten
Silvie was the most beautiful kitten (almost cat). She was just 4 months old and I must of kissed her 50 times a day. She was my daughter Mani's baby. Mani was very in love with Silvie and is so deeply sad now. Slivie was just luxury in cat form and so trusting and playful. She was also not afraid of anything, and that did her in. She went under the fence and the pit bull next door broke her neck. I will miss her forever.
Anyway, I just hired someone to build a gazebo of sorts with a 45 degree angle at the top, it's going to be a beautiful cat area of the yard so they can't escape again. I'm keeping the other cats in for the time being.
There's a Muslim/Sufi saying, "Trust God, but tie up your camel". Yep. That doesn't mean to tie up an animal. Unfortunately people look at the external words. It means: hold your kid's hand when they walk down steps. It means: wash your hands and take your vitamins. It means "do your part and let the universe or God do the rest". It means: build a large outside enclosure (complete with garden) to protect the cats from being killed, and protect the birds and little rabbits from getting killed by the cats.
I like pit bulls. Let me qualify that: When a child or a dog is raised by a balanced, calm person, they are quite nice beings to befriend. The pit bulls in Dog Whisperer, Cesar Millan's family are gentle, friendly, and sweet. Even to other dogs. Karen Dawn, founder and awesome writer of DawnWatch.com and the best book on Animal Rights and Welfare "Thanking the Monkey", has a soft spot for pit bulls, and all the other animals in the world for that matter. Her dog-daughter Paula is sublime. Please visit http://www.BadRap.org to learn more about pit bulls.
