Help me please! I was out on a walk this morning and I saw a little kitten! Pure black with eyes that are still a little blue (all cats are born with blue eyes, but around 3 weeks they begin to change color). She (again I'm mostly guessing here) was probably around 3-5 weeks old. I wonder whether the kitten belongs to anyone. If she does, I will *slaughter* the person for letting such a little kitten to run around just a few houses away from a busy street! Sure, the mother is there (she's a stray with no collar, like my tabby), but the first time I saw the kitten she almost strayed right into the street and the mother was now-where to be seen! Later I saw the two rolling around together. I swear, that kitten should be taken and adopted out to some family to reduce the stray and feral population. I would, *ahem*, gladly take the kitten in. My parents would say otherwise, unfortunately. But 2/3rds of stray kittens don't survive the first year! The odds of little Blackie surviving without a family are so small, I'm tempted to do something! As I've said, Blackie is pure black, but the mother is white and orange. On a funnier note, Kusy was quite frightened of this little black mewing furball. Seriously! I saw the mother and the kitten by the cat man's house, but I don't know whether he owns them or not. They don't have collars, obviously aren't fixed, so I have no clue. I am really tempted to do something to help the kitten's fate. Some driver won't even notice him and crunch over her.... or a coyote will catch her... or an owl.... or she will perish in the freezing nights to come. What should I do?
Also, do you remember the tabby cat I fed two days ago? I still haven't seen him by my house. I saw two cats that may have been him by the cat man's house. I wasn't close enough to see their eyes, though. Both looked suspiciously too fat and clean to be this particular cat.
So what should I do about this kitten? Take her in and keep her? Take her in and advertise a 'Found Kitten?' Let her stay out there and most likely die? I don't know whether the cat man owns her (or the momma cat), but she shouldn't be out there! Should I ask the cat man about the kitten? Help me, please!

Just ask your parents if you can keep a stray kitten you found. If they say no, tell them you will put up flyers of a Missing Kitten and if there is no claim within 1-2 weeks, you can keep it. But, you have to think- you can't stop all animal cruelty. There will always be that one person who thinks nothing about it and just tosses away there dog.
ReplyDeleteMaybe the Orange Tabby was stalking you because he/she {Going with she} was looking for their kitten {Which mentioned above} and it couldn't find it anywhere, so it took off to find it somewhere. Then, you find it, which explains why it's alone, and why the Orange cat hasn't showed.
ReplyDeleteActually, I was the one stalking th orange tabby, not the other way around :). Also, the mother is a white/orange cat, not the tabby. Anyways, if the kitten is a few weeks old and the orange tabby was caring for it, the orange cat would never have showed at all by my house. Good ideas, though.

I think you should ask the cat man..maybe he knows something.
ReplyDeleteInteresting problem... I would make sure the kitten had a home by asking the cat man and then taking her in if you know she has no other place.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you'll do the right thing!
Oh, and by the way, I like both of your titles! Untitled is a funny name, and Letters of my Life is beautiful. So go with your gut! :)

Thanks for the comments! If I see the kitten or her mother again, I'll ask the cat man about her.
