It is bed time again.

We have been thinking about prejudice and bigotry. A heavy subject for two cool cats from California, but there are humans that hate cats just because they exist "Cats are evil" they say. And what about us black cats? Or even black dogs? We are the last to be adopted in shelters. Why? Some say it is based on old superstitions, and new "research" claims it may be because we don't photograph well. How stupid is that? How ignorant? How stupid and ignorant is it to hate someone just because they exists, or is of a certain color or even because it is small, tall, skinny or fat, too smart or not smart enough? Or what about the disabled, should they not be our friends or pets? Mom says friends and pets should only be chosen because of your connection with them, how they look should be the last concern on your list of pet or friend qualifications. Always look beyond the exterior and see the real beauty underneath.
Time for our prayer.
Dear Heavenly Father, please be with our family, friends and even strangers, be they humans and animals. Please provide guidance and wisdom daily, and comfort, strength and courage when needed.
Please help the homeless, human and animal, they are alone, and your help to find safe, loving homes, with families to call their own.
Please help the lost find their way home, their families love and miss them so much; and please keep them safe until they are reunited.
Please comfort and strengthen those suffering illness and loss, and we know so many suffering illness and too many suffering loss. We ask that you hold them and help them through this difficult time.
Please help those suffering other difficulties, please help those with financial difficulties, if they have lost their job or have unexpected bills, help them. Please help those with emotional or mental illness, they are suffering in ways most can't imagine. So please hold them and help them and help them through their struggles. Please give them what they need most to overcome all their struggles.
Thank you for the kind and compassionate humans that work every day to help others, human or animal, they make do make a difference and we are grateful for their efforts.
Thank you for the men and women in uniform, military and local police. They risk their lives daily, so that we are safe. Thank you for their efforts.
Thank you for those we love and that loves us back; and thank you too for everything we have, because others have lost much. We are blessed.
With gentleness, Father, please teach us humility, patience, compassion, understanding and tolerance; and please help us to be less judgmental.
Please forgive us our transgressions and help us to be more forgiving towards those that transgress against. Help us to remember that none of us are perfect.
Most importantly, we ask for more true love, the love that never fails, the love that heals the spirit, the love that brings all beauty, goodness and light into existence. AMEN.
Time to hit the sack, or box or whatever you sleep in, have peaceful night's sleep and dreams of beautiful, sweet and wonderful things. Then when you wake, remember to stretch like a cat and greet the day with a smile. A smile is the best way to start your day and be sure to share that smile with everyone you meet.
You are always in our prayers.
Love you to the moon and back.

Beautiful
We don't understand people that "hate" cats. Whenever someone says that we are immediately suspicious of them. And black cats are so beautiful! There is a stray that Meomy's client feeds that they have named "toothless". In fact meowmy has a black cat in her lap as she types this

Cats are all pawsome.
I agree with you Little Man. I have four black sissy furrs and they are beautiful and I love them very much. Their names are: Blackberry, Satin, Shadow, and Midnight (Midna). Have a pawsome good day my furriend.

black cats
I'm a gray cat, or I was. My human didn't like black cats until he met my grandma and her sis-fur that were left at the farm house. With a little bit of love black cats can be really friendly.
