abandoned kitten

Monday, Jun. 11, 2007 | 6:59 PM

i'd just gotten home from youth group last night. melissa and joel gave me a ride home, and my parents weren't home when i got there. i called my dad, he said they were at winco.

i was standing in the kitchen when they came in. my mom carried a bag, out of which came frantic meowing. "it was in the winco parking lot under a cart," she said, "it was screaming, i thought it had been hit by a car." but no, she was not injured. just terrified.

i took the bag into my room and opened it up, revealing a very scared and very small calico kitten. i held her and calmed her as i looked her over. she appeared to be about five or six weeks old. she was very dirty with flea dirt, and looked like she had ear mites.

i happened to have some kitten formula stored away in my room. i offered her some, as well as some wet food. she was very hungry! after eating, she spent the rest of the night in my room.

i gave her a bath today, and cleaned her ears out with this ferret ear cleaning stuff. i decided to use that instead of buying some ear mite stuff for cats. this stuff says it kills ear mites, and there can't be much difference between ferret ear cleaner and cat ear cleaner, right?

she's really sweet. she wasn't too sure about being held at first, but she warmed up to me rather quicky. since she was likely dumped in the parking lot, she probably wasn't previously kept by the nicest people. there's a good chance i'm the nicest human she's met. now she loves to climb in my lap and play with me. i just love it when she purrs. there isn't much in this world that is sweeter than a purring kitten.

i could find her a home, but i'm probably gonna keep her. she's all small and helpless and needy... that's just irresistible to me. and what's one more, right?
