Nomnomnom
I guess I should post an update.
Basically, for the last month, I've been taking care of an orphaned newborn kitten on my own (though Debbie was able to make it over one day during the first week to help me out). She's still alive! And she's growing both in size and cuteness everyday.
I named her Persephone.
Anyhow, I plan on visiting Muncie some time in October. I will be bringing her with me for people to see (because they want to meet her). I'd come sooner but (1) I don't have a job, (2) no money, (3) I still have to take my driving test, and (4) I'm worried Persephone might not have the immune system to handle travel and new locations. Her mother managed to lick her out of the birth sac, but left her hanging with the placenta still attached. When we found her, flies were crawling all over her and the mother hadn't been anywhere in sight for the last 20 minutes. I don't know if she ever received colostrum, which is something in the mother's milk (in any animal!) that provides babies with temporary immunity. In two weeks, however, she gets her shots.
