i moved into a new place about a week or so ago. at night, i could hear what sounded like ppl walking above me and little kids running around; considering its a house thats been turned into a duplex, i KNEW there wasnt anyone walking above me.
friday, i got my gas turned on and the gas guy ignored me when i told him i could smell and hear gas... so while my mother, the kitties and i waited TWO HOURS outside for the gas company to come back (they didnt think a giant gas leak was a priority -- seriously) and hoped the place didnt explode, we saw was we had assumed was ghosts.
where my part of the house is connected to the front of the house (i think i was built on at a later time) theres a kind of vent near the roof that looks like a litte door, kind of like what youd see on a barn and it was open. and there were my ghosts -- four adorable fluffy little kittens!!!! theyre only about8-19 weeks old. i tried taking pix with my cell but couldnt get very good ones. apparently they run thru the walls and attic at night and man do they make a lot of noise LOL
then yesterday, i heard a baby kitten crying and thought it was on tv. i looked outside and there was a TINY long haired tortie kitty that i guess had fallen off the roof and was trying to climb back up (the other kitties were looking at it, but ran when they saw me.) i was going to try and pick it up cuz i can *almost* reach the roof from my porch, probably enough to get it back up there. but this kitty took off when it saw me and i didnt want it to run out in the road. so i put some food and water out, hoping its mama would come back. she must have come quick since the food was gone within 15min.
i worried all day and nite about that kitten since it cant be more than 4 weeks old. hes so cute and small, only about the size of my hand from nose to tail. (im assuming a he. i havent actually gotten that close)
today about the same time, guess what i hear? the dang kitten has fallen off the roof -- again!!! i start to go pick it up when mama comes running. she slows when she sees me (oh ya, shes pregnant AGAIN!) so i go back in and she grabs that kitty and takes him under the car (the neighborhood is very nice except for one person has a bunch of junk cars up on blocks) and starts licking him so hard i think the poor little fellas fur is gonna come off! i can hear him crying even louder than when he fell off the roof! lol i did get pix of them but not very good ones since they were taken with my cell thru the screen.
