The Kitten Sitch

I got a call from Justin on Sunday evening.  He was down at the shop getting things prepped for the work week.  "We don't want a cat, do we?"  I reply with, "No.  Who's getting rid of one?"  He tells me that he found a tiny kitten under the shop, describes to me what it looks like, and ends with 'it's really cute'.

When he and I went back down there later that night, we couldn't find it.  Justin even crawled through the bottom of the building, looking.  He's an animal, himself.  :) 

On Monday, after I laid Reese down for a nap, I headed down there and found this sweet baby sleeping on some 2 x 4's.

I brought it back up to the house, but quickly took it back, once I thought of its poor mother missing her baby.  (Even though we have yet to spot a cat.)
I checked on it throughout the day and even bottle fed it some milk.  By the way, if there was any baby itch living inside me, it totally got scratched!


After Davis' game last night, we walked back down there and brought it to the house.  I was up all night, worrying about this little guy.  It can't be more than 2 weeks old and I know it needs constant care right now.  i.e.  q-tip stimulation at its privates to make it use the bathroom since Mom's not around to lick it.


I posted an ad on Facebook and immediately got a response.  Its going to a home where really experienced animal people live and I know it'll be well taken care of.  But it'll definitely be missed around here!
