ZAZOO!!


Over the past months the stress in our house is palpable when you walk through the door, but there has been one being that brings a smile to our face just with his presence. It is our foster cat ZAZOO. Zazoo started visiting us in the summer in our backyard dining area. We thought of him as a pesky cat that just was scrounging off of us to enhance his already robust shape, but soon we, especially Shaelyn, would wonder where he was if he wasn't at our table. He soon became our family's alarm clock arriving around the same time every morning, leaving while the girls were at school and coming back when Shaelyn would return. We phoned the owners of the cat, they assured us that this big-eyed black cat came home every night and as long as he wasn't being a pest they didn't mind that we would take him as a foster cat. Todd and I smirk at the thought of having a pet, but not having to feed, and look after the kitty litter. (when he has to go, he waits by the door meowing patiently.)

This cat has brought so much joy to our family. (I am a non-cat lover) but this cat has brings us smiles. I do believe that God brought us this cat as a comedy relief for our family and to give Shaelyn a distraction. I can't help but smile when I think of how a cat could bring us so much joy!!
