My Little Kitty
I was pulling into work about 3 weeks ago and, above the stereo. I thought I heard a kitty meow...you know the ones from a lost kitten...after looking and finding nothing...being abandond...
I blew it off...then 3 days later we heard the kitty. a buddy and I tried to feed it...it was hidding underneath one of the 6o plus trailers on the lot... Didn' matter what I did, milk and chicken put out, the cat was un-catchable...would take the bait but yet run and hide in the strangest spot...the last I saw of it was when it ran in-between the rungs on a trailer...didn't hear anything for a week...thought it was shipped out on a trailer.. My relief dispatcher confirmed she heard a kitty meow in the lot early AM. I prepared myself with cat food to try and bait it (if I could get close again)...I mean it could end up as road kill with all the trucks in and out of my yard thourghout the day... Well it ended up it was in the Hospial yard which abuts the Coke yard...and I heard it meowing (after calling it one mornig)... I had rode my bike to work that night and waited till the next shift to try my capture....BTW I carried food for a week and didn't hear nothing... I now am in the possession of a feral cat whom I rescued...and took her down to get shots...wondering if she would ever come around... Here's a few shots...    It took almost a week to get her to be friendly...now she wont leave my lap  And to top it off...this is her favorite toy... A box...     She is truley a trip...and I believe that she appreiciates the quiet confort of home...she is still skiddish...but sleeps close and has a purr motor unequal to any kitty I have had... Il post more as she comes about.... KD |

Irresistable! I admit have a soft spot for cats and dogs (and many other animals...)

Nice to see the kitten find a home. So many do not.
I have a black cat too that I took in as a stray was about the same size (would fit in the palm of my hand). She has been with us for many years and shows her gratitude every day. She is getting old now and has been through hell, attacked by dogs, hit by a car and lay wounded in a ditch for two days, fell off a two story roof. She now has a subluxinated disk in her back, partially crippeled, and going blind. She still 'loves' as if she was just a kitten. Yes your kitten will 'come around' from the looks of your pictures she has already started. |

cute cat.
I used to be a cat person. I used to have a cat a long time ago. but since i moved to the city and the local stray cats love to use my back porch as a kitty brothel at 2:00 in the morning i am no longer a cat person. they stink, they spray everything, and they are SO loud when they are in the "mood" cats are now the reason i keep one of these by my back door... http://us.st12.yimg.com/us.st.yimg.c..._2027_60604299 now... im a dog person
