I ask, because.... years and years ago (I am old, LOL) my mom was woken up in the middle of the night by a phone call from her best friend. "Jean?" she said "Will you do me a favor?" and of course, without thinking my mom said yes.
My mom's friend had one old cranky Siamese who hated everyone. We had a large house full of cats and a dog and a few chickens.
My mom's friend had been driving on I44 in CT. It was very late at night. Ahead of her was a semi pulled all the way across the road, completely blocking traffic. Why? Because he had seen a car ahead of him toss a litter of kittens on to the road. The trucker was out looking for any survivors when my mom's friend got out to help him. They found one little black girl. The trucker couldn't keep her. And my mom's friend's cat would have eaten her. So we woke up to meet a new family member.
What did we name her? Why, 44, of course! She had a conjunctivitis, and was going blind. But we rubbed an ointment on her eyes for awhile and she got better. She was a big snuggler, too. Lived a long and happy life with my mom and the rest of us kids.
Anyhow, I just thought you might like to hear that story. :D
