A guest at the shop.

Last night my Son Dan pulled an all nighter, working on his Fox Mustang. He kept hearing a faint meow but thought it was Mama Cat, the stray we feed every night. Finally, he went to check and under our blast cabinet was a little black kitten. She was skin and bones and was so weak she didn't even try to run when he picked her up.

She is living in our shop office and is eating and drinking like mad. I have NO idea where she came from, we have only one female cat who comes to eat every night, and we trapped and had her fixed, so this kitten isn't hers. My other Son, Don is considering taking her in as a companion for the one he has now.........hope he does.

Tonight Dan and I spent some time with her and she loves attention and head bumps you when you are petting her.

It sure is a cutie! We have 5 house cats that were all strays and 2 barn cats that we brought in but they prefer to be outside. I just can't understand folks who don't like cats.

Funny you should mention it Don... I too have a new shop mate! Mrs Tripper & her sister walk their dogs down the long country road where we live & they saw a lil kitty hiding in the bushes in the middle of nowhere! After about a week of watering & feeding it they were able to grab it & it's taken my shop as it's new home. Still kinda scared of any contact (with me at least) but it comes out when called! Hard to believe anyone would just throw a itty bitty kitty out on the road like that!

Cute little Tabby there Tripper.

My Son Don has decided to adopt this little guy. [cl He came over tonight and played with her and fell in love. Wednesday I will take her to the vet to make sure she is healthy and then she will go home with him that night.

We can't save them all, but just saving a few feels pretty darned good.

Took kitten to the vet today and he is very healthy, so tonight we will take him to my Son Don's home where he will be from now on. [cl[cl

I brought him home with me and he is in the living room with our 3, and seems to be doing good with them.

Well geez, I thought you were going to show us a picture of Bill Hines,lol.
One of my 2 cats was a rescued orphan. She has OCD eating disorder from being weaned too young but is otherwise a hoot.

Dad-gum that's a tiny kitty. And cute as well.

I've got a new family member as well. The stray that had her kittens in the Ranchero moved them after I found them. Hadn't seen them until a couple of weeks ago. They are wild but this one got up on the roof and the mother abandoned him. After several days up there he was quite weak and I was able to catch him. He's been inside for a week now and really getting used to things, he can be a little terror at times.

What a cute little guy!

 

[donsrods]

Yeah, he's a cutie for sure. Looks a lot like my cat Lucky when he was about that age.

I had an orphan looked just like that. He was super friendly and liked to ride on my shoulder. His name was stinkweed and he was dumb as a rock, someone ran over him in the yard.
