A man sends a kitten sailing only to realize he just answered a prayer in the process.
Although people love their pets, regardless of what type of animal it is, it just seems as if those who have cats in their lives are absolutely obsessed with them. It can be seen in the popularity of cat videos online. It seems as if somebody who has cats will tune into one of those videos and before they know it, hours have passed as they jump from one video clip to another.
Perhaps that is why this joke is so funny. It talks about a man who saved a cat in a most unexpected way but in the end, he ended up answering a prayer.
Who says the universe doesn’t have a sense of humor?
When one pastor tried to rescue a kitten stuck up on a tree, things went awry but what happened next will make you smile.
Every time I think about it, the vision of that poor cat just amuses me to no end.
This story is about the pastor of a local church.
He had a kitten that climbed up a tree in his front yard and wouldn’t come down.
The pastor coaxed, offered warm milk, and treats. The kitty would not come down.
The tree was not sturdy enough to climb, so the pastor decided that if he tied a rope to his car and pulled it until the tree bent down, he could then reach up and get the kitten.
That’s what he did, all the while checking his progress in the car.
He then figured if he went just a little bit further, the tree would be bent sufficiently for him to reach the kitten.
But as he moved the car a little further forward, the rope broke.
The tree went boing! And the kitten instantly sailed through the air out of sight.
The pastor felt terrible.
He walked all over the neighborhood for 3 days, asking people if they’d seen a little kitten.
Nobody had seen a stray kitten.
So he prayed, “Lord, I just commit this kitten to your keeping,” and went on about his business.
A few days later he was at the grocery store and met one of his church members.
He happened to look into her shopping cart and was amazed to see cat food.
This woman was a cat hater and everyone knew it, so he asked her, “Why are you buying cat food when you hate cats so much?”
She replied, “You won’t believe this,” and then she told him how her little girl had been begging her for a cat, but she kept refusing.
Then a few days passed, the child had begged again, so the Mom finally told her little girl, “Well, if God gives you a cat, I’ll let you keep it.”
She told the pastor, “I watched my child go out in the yard, get on her knees, and ask God for a cat.
And really, Pastor, you won’t believe this, but I saw it with my own eyes.
A kitten suddenly came flying out of the blue sky, with its paws outspread and landed right in front of her.”
