Something about cats!

I have a cat Frodo. I love him to death. He is so important to me that I just might forgo the option of joining a convent although, I'd think I'd be happy there. It is kind of risky business; this faith of mine. One day I hate it and the next day I feel like I'm married to the church. The convent is in St. Agatha and it is a cloistered convent, so you don't get out that much; except maybe for the odd doctor's appointment. I couldn't leave Frodo. I already abandoned a cat and I cried for a whole year. Frodo is more than a pet. He is my way of life. When he runs for his ball, I giggle and then he comes back to me asking me to throw it again. Can anyone abandoned that much unconditional love? I don't think so.
I was in church yesterday, reciting the Gloria when all of a sudden, a black cat walked past me. I started to giggle and the priest was trying hard not to laugh too. Some holy cat! Somebody let him into the church and for me that was God's way of telling me not to abandon Frodo because I will regret it. I can do saintly things at home. Let's see. My friend Steve suggested I pray for two hours a day. I've manage to do this for two days straight. Wow! What an accomplishment. To me, praying the rosary over and over, becomes kind of soothing that you never want to stop. There are many mysteries to choose from and I try not to get too distracted when Frodo tries to play with the rosary bating it back and forth. I know that this is probably anti religious but I try not to encourage it although I get a kick out of it. I don't think they would allow Frodo into the convent, even if I do get my hopes up about that cat attending mass. Frodo was blessed by Father Ken. Does that mean I have a holy cat? I don't know but I think Frodo knows more about religion than he is telling me. I believe he has secret powers because he so wanted to be apart of my nativity scene, that he knocked over the three kings just to be in the spotlight. When I told my friend's daughter that Frodo had been blessed, she confused the whole thing and asked if Frodo was baptized. If I had my way he would.
When I have company over, he visits everybody by making his rounds and sitting on peoples laps. He especially shows a fondness for Larry. My friends told me, if I go to the convent, Larry can have my cat. I don't think this is a bargain but a cross to carry. My feelings are too strong for my Frodo. Just as Frodo in the movie led the way of the ring, so Frodo my cat leads me in the right path. Who can ask more than that?
