One for the littlies too...

When we first got Leo and Daisy, the two cats, we had to get them used to the new environment gradually, so we kept them in the spare bathroom for the first few days and then slowly let them out into the back yard. A couple of days into this Leo disappeared. This was on a Saturday. I called and called, back and front, to no avail. I walked up and down the street, calling his name and looking, but no luck.
I was very worried, imagining him having no idea of how to get back to our place, not being able to recognise the front of the house and just being lost and miserable.
So I prayed, asking for him to be able to be found and to return home safely. I looked again, roumd the back of the house, but still no sign of him. I kept praying for the poor little guy.
That evening, when it was beginning to get dark, I was lying on the bed reading when the thought came clearly into my mind, "Get up and look again." I was about half a page from the end of the chapter so I thought I'd finish to the end of the chapter and then look, but the thought came again, "No, go look now." So I put down my book and went down the road, just like Nephi, asking to be led by the Spirit, not knowing where exactly to look! :)
I had the flashlight with me as it was dark. I walked down to the school and felt to walk up the lane to the school. I called out as I walked up it, and was about 3/4 of the way up when I heard a little 'miaow'. I called out again and walked back down towards the road, and heard another miaow. I got down to the road and shone the torch up between the house and fence which have been built at the front of the Ahmus' old place, and there he was, creeping out from a pile of wood that was lying against the side of the house.
I was so grateful to have found the poor little guy and hustled him back home. (He goes out the front all the time now.) He wouldn't have been able to find his own way home that far away from the house with everything so unfamiliar as it was then.
It is so lovely that Heavenly Father can even be mindful of the needs of a little cat, at least at this time. It was a definite and clear prompting to get up and look at that particular moment, I assume at the time where Leo was in a place where he would hear me and be able to be found.
It was a lovely little experience.
