We have a new kitten.
I was upstairs watching Hormblower on DVD on Saturday, & mum comes in & asks if we want a kitten. I asked Why. Basically, the feral cat that lives in the old Italian man 4 doors ups garden had kittens, & he'd managed to catch them. We now have a tiny little tabby kitten that mum has named Tabitha (yuck!). I think she's only about 4 weeks old, but she's eating solid food.
Initially she wasn't too fond of us, but she's coming around. I fed her this morning & gave her a cuddle, & when I put her back in the cat carrier (where she's sleeping, due to us having lost her behing a wardrobe early on) she cried & cried. I went back & scratched her some more after I got dressed & she was very loving, but when I had to leave she was crying again. I felt so bad leaving.
** Update. Mum just phoned. The've been to the vet. She is a he, & he's 5 or 6 weeks old. Honestly, I didn't seen any little appendage when I looked between his legs!!
