Kitty Crisis Averted
Sheesh, guess what? I go out to feed the outdoor kitties about 8am
and there is the teeniest, tiniest baby kitten out there, seriously not more than 3 weeks old, if that. It was easy to get cuz it's so tiny it couldn't get away. It was actually marked a lot like Google, our newest kitten (he is 5 weeks old, though) but different shaped face. I about croaked, as you can imagine, since I am totally overwhelmed with about 10 outdoor cats now. I just don't get where a tiny kitty like that would come from. I looked all around our yard and in the alley to see if there were more (sure hope not!!!) then put it in a carrier. I think it's too little to eat on its own. It looks very healthy and chubby but it was shaking. I went to the neighbors who like cats--of course no one could help, as usual. Then Tony called this woman he works with (actually she got laid off a few weeks ago but her boyfriend still works there). She has 5 cats and 2 dogs. Can you believe it, she asked Graham (her charming, handsome English boyfriend) and he said, sure. So we took the baby over to their really gorgeous house, met all their other well-cared-for indoor/ outdoor kitties and that was that!!!!!! I am shocked. Who would have thought? I'm sooooo relieved cuz, really, I am tapped out $$ wise, space wise, every wise. I didn't know what I was gonna do. Keep him in a cage and try to syringe feed him and beg people to take him, I guess. I just hope no one else that tiny ever shows up again. Could people actually be dumping them intentionally at our house? How would they know?????? Most of the outdoor cats we currently feed lay pretty low in the daytime and only appear at night to eat. There are really only 2 that are visible during the day and they pretty much stay in our yard out of sight. How dreadful this all is but that is one tiny, lucky little kitty! Candace |

They're all my cats and I just let 'em keep breeding. What's wrong with that? I like to see the beauty of birth. |

Over-population is a HUGE problem and you yourself state that you are "overwhelmed" with cats. 70% of all cats entering shelters are euthanized. 70%!!!! Population control by spaying and neutering is the only responsible thing to do to help stop the killing of innocent animals. I am not targeting you specifically just the mentality. Unfortunately there are far too many people who have this same attitude towards the animals in their care and millions of them end up in rescues and kill-shelters EVERY YEAR. Millions more DIE because there aren't enough responsible pet parents to go around. Please, please give this alot of thought Candice. You are not doing your kitties any favors by letting them breed indiscrimately. Pet Population Statistics: http://www.petpopulation.org/statsurvey.html DWMeowMix |
