I have another "Chinese Obligation"

I was behind someone coming to the stoplight at Old Millington and Thomas.

I was watching the back bumper of the car in front, and underneath it a KITTEN appeared..... (unhurt, and right in the middle under the lisence plate) summitch drove right over it...

I hit the flashers, got out, went to find it...

It went under my ranger....

It was hugging the inside of my right front tire. If I had gone ahead it would have been over and done. My back tires are wider than the fronts.

The dang cat isn't old enough to be without Momma, I have no idea why it was there at all. it likes the innerds of sub sandwiches though, and IF (IF!) I get stuck with this cat to raise - IT'S NAME IS SHELBY.

That there is where I found it. DOES ANYONE want a cat? I'm allergic to cats. I love them, but they make my eyes swell shut. This one is cool - black and dark brown tabby striped.

It needs to be on a farm or somewhere.

Right now it's afraid of everything.

What are you starting Dutch? A animal rescue. I love animals but I don't pickup every stray I see.

Lord knows. -It was there, and I was there, and I couldn't stand the thought of it getting snuffed out in the middle of FRAYSER of all places. I guess at that point it reminded me of myself.

I'm allergic to cats, matter of fact.

If we forget that it's a cat, and I had said -

"A baby was in the road, too young to be away from it's mother - and I picked it up."

I think it puts it in the perspective I see it in.

(GOD did this to me... Just when I was happily feeling sorry for myself TOO!)

from my wife:

"give the kitten milk, attention and find a pill to take against being allergic to it."

we would take it, but we would have no idea what to do with it when we go on our week to 3 month long excursions.

I think I finally broke the ice with it. I went and fetched it and petted it until it began to purr.

I still can't be home much, but it has all it needs during the day.

And yes, I bought milk for BOTh of us.

PS: If there was a pill for that I would have been raising BOBCATS years ago...

PPS: I'll pay for my altruism later when I wake up itching uncontrollably...

PPPS: It's name for now is simply "MEW" - I'll snap a pic tomorrow.

I wonder if it will help me find the "Door into Summer"?

I'm glad I saved "MEW"


I can find no way inside myself to hate this:

We have a 8 month old kitten/cat and he is sincerly devil spawned. He will sit all nice and pretty while you walk by him till you get just past him and your calf will have ten little holes in it. haha

"Cat" the other white meat.
My only real favorite cat I had was a stray, seems the female had mated with a bobcat, little dark grey kitten had all the features, big feet, no tail, pointed ears with distinct hair patterns on them and was muscular. I grabbed it out of a Scout II I had in the shed parting out, threw it in the house to get the mice, damn thing grew on me, self litter trained in a pan I had out for my ferret, made itself at home. My mother in law was a dog person, she fell in love with it, cried when she found her in the backyard, had been shot with a 22, she made it home before dieing.

"MEW" (AKA: SHELBY - which is where God sent it to me) is priceless.

A bit fearful, but sweet and kind.

- Now if only the litter box didn't smell like a barrel of naturally fermented saurkraut...
