Cat healed of medically diagnosed condition
Our family is grateful for a quick and convincing healing early last year of our cat, Comet. We adopted him eight years ago when he was about two. One evening, we noticed several large drops of blood on the floor and realized it was coming from our sweet kitty. We also noticed that Comet stayed in his bed and was not his usual playful self. We cleaned the floor and began praying for him.
Something I’ve turned to many times with success when praying for animals is this statement on page 514 of Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy: “All of God’s creatures, moving in the harmony of Science, are harmless, useful, indestructible.” I read it aloud to our cat and knew he was listening.
My husband and I continued praying as we headed to bed. But the next morning the signs of the problem were worse, and, alarmed, we took Comet to a local veterinarian. The vet diagnosed the condition as a urinary tract infection and possible gallstones. She prescribed two different initial medications and wanted to perform a medical test the next day in order to prescribe a third medication.
