At first we noticed there were two kittens living under our neighbor’s boarded yard. But for the past few days, one of them never showed up. And we never saw the mother with the one remaining kitten anymore. So I decided to give the poor thing some treats despite my warning to Grace not to give any of the stray cats any in fear of them bringing dead squirrels as a token of their appreciation.
I guess that’s part of being human. It’s impossible to witness a kitten’s health deteriorate as we walk by her underground hideout on a daily basis. We decided we’d try to trap her the next time we see her and send her to the humane society.
I ended up giving her a small handful of cat food. For a kitten her size (about a month old), she sure could eat. She finished the whole damn pile!
And then we came home to this sight…
Seriously, nature can’t be crueler. What a difference a home makes. One of my cats also has taken great interest in computers. It would be nice if she can get a job. What a dorky cat.
