Sigh...my neighbor called me. She had a small black kitten sitting on her back stairs, wanted to know if it was mine. Nope...she goes to check the new neighbors and other houses and on one is taking claim on him.
In the meantime hubby and I see a huge red tailed hawk sitting in a tree looking at the kitten. I speak to the kitten and he starts jabbering at me and hubby. Neighbors try to catch him and he runs out of thier yard and under a storage shed in the next yard over. We cant get him out. I go home mumbling to myself about stupid careless people.
I bring back some stinky wet cat food and put it down where he went under the shed. He is out eating that food in 2 seconds flat. I grab him, he hisses then starts purring in my hand. I pick up the food and he is so hungry that he climbs up my shirt to get to the food. I walk back to my house holding the purring and eating kitten in my one hand. My best guess is he is around 4 to 5 weeks old. Tiny tiny bag of bones.
He in now ensconsed in my upstairs bedroom with a litter box, soft and hard food and water. He has a cat bed and toys in there. He hides when you first walk in the room but quickly warms up to you when you speak to him.
HE IS ONLY HERE FOR THE NIGHT!
I plan on taking him to the spca tomorrow. I just wish he would stop jabbering/purring/sleeping on me...I feel bad taking him there. I have 4 cats that were strays already and a large 100 pound german shepherd. I know I could aclimate them all to each other but man I sure dont want to!
If he would just stop jabbering/purring and sleeping on me I would be fine with it.
Hubby says that he is soooo young and needs a family that can spend time with him. BUT he is so darned cute I cant stand it.
Is it wrong to start calling him Sid? Naming is soo bad. I promised hubby that I would take him tomorrow....Its gonna break my heart.
Sigh...stupid irresponsible pet owners!
