Noise in the Night

[Pappy]

Earlier this week I would hear a kitten crying when I went out on the back porch to smoke, especially at night and early mornings. When I would try to find it, the crying would stop. This started on Monday and when I was mowing the yard on Wednesday I noticed some clippings behind the travel trailer that had been missed by the sweeper. When I turned off the tractor to rake them up, I heard the crying. In the rear compartment was the kitten, no more than 2-3 weeks old, probably born there and abandoned by it's mother.

I took it in the house and both the Ginger and I fell in love. I was sent to Tractor Supply for some kitten formula and bottles so she could feed him and he seems to be healthy.

And now may I introduce, weighing in at a collosal 7.3 oz, ...

Good deed, Don. At least yours don't come in litters! There is more of this going around.

Way to go Pappy and a fitting name.

A big congratulations from the LOML and me - and our seven furbabies! We "only" had six up until about early May - then we were adopted by a very sweet "old man". He went through about a name a week until LOML finally came up with the name that stuck: "Harry Squatter" . A big welcome from our gang to Airstream!

Nice move.

You know, for an old Marine you're kind of a softy.

I wouldn't want word to get out in your neighborhood you're sweet on kitties and puppies, otherwise your reputation might suffer...

A new floor sweeper for the playpen! Nice find!

[pitbull]

Yeah! but is your shop big enough to swing it properly.

Don,

Just remember, God sees these things and he remembers them.

Way to go!!

Don - Is it a he or a she? We gotta know. BTW, I've never had a cat that would respond to a name, just kitty, kitty, kitty.

Hey Pappy, conrats on the kitty.

I can't say that I've ever heard of a litter of one, so you may want to check out your airstream pretty good to make sure that the rest aren't hiding in there somewhere.

I remember at the house I grew up in that we had a cat get into the attic and have a litter. No big deal except that she had the litter in a spot that had access to a wall cavity. We had to knock a hole in the wall to get them out, with the mother fussing at us to hurry up while we were at it.
