Ahh, bummer. I deleted all the messages there due
to a flood. I'll try Google after a while. Thanks.

Poor little thing. He looks awfully thin. And he's got "that look" in his
pretty eyes.

Jill have you seen him/her again since s/he ran away from you? I can't help
it, I can't get that picture out of my head, I'm haunted by those sad eyes!

I stepped out on my patio this morning to dump the dregs of the parrot
seed
for the birds and there was a tiny grey tabby sitting there. I'm no good
at
guessing the age of kittens but it's smaller than Tallulah's little
Hubert!
Obviously a stray, possibly abandoned by mama-cat (or mama was killed or
trapped or something). Poor little baby was extremely afraid of me. When
I
tried to slowly approach, it ran into my shamefully overgrown monkey-grass
and hid. I parted the monkey grass and it was shaking like crazy at my
approach and slunk further back away. It won't let me get near it.

Here's the deal (and it breaks my heart to say so). I can't start feeding
this kitten. The apartment manager just graciously removed my monthly pet
fee for Persia because I'm unemployed, to help with my rent. No way can I
take in another. Also, I cannot afford more vet bills at this time.

I *did* think about putting food out to try to trap the kitten so I could
take him/her to a no-kill shelter. But the woman across the street & down
a
ways feeds ferals. Per that other neighbor down the street (the one who
scared the crap out of me by leaning over the fence to tell me about a
dead
cat), she's got 12-14 of them hanging around and does nothing else for
them,
I might add. I can't afford to attract her bunch over here. I'm pretty
sure that's where this one came from since the woman doesn't attempt to
have
the ones she feeds spayed or neutered.

Lastly, even if I could afford and take this sweet little darlin' in,
Persia
is a one-cat cat. She freaks if she sees another one through the window.
I
simply can't disrupt her life that way.

If I could figure a way to trap this little one and take it to a rescue
place to be cared for, I would. Maybe you have some suggestions that
won't
attract every feral cat in the neighborhood?

This little cat is afraid of me. I found it on my patio yesterday
morning. I'm trying to figure out how to trap it and get it to a
no-kill shelter. In the meantime, it paused while running from me
long enough to cringe and let me snap this pic. Poor little thing
is so scrawny. But so cute! I hope I can catch it and have someone
socialize it and give it a good home.

Jill

What a sweet little face! Hope you have good luck with finding it a
forever home.

Regards and Purrs,
O J

Didn't occur to me until early this morning to post the photo on
alt.binaries.pictures.animals! Thanks for pointing that out here

And yes, such a sweet little face. BIG eyes and fuzzy ears. Poor little
thing. I hope I can trap it and find it a good place to be socialized and
given a good home. I haven't seen it again today (and I did go out and comb
through my overgrown wet monkey-grass) looking for it.

Elain from the House of Mews thinks it's maybe 6 months old. That seems a
bit extreme to me since it doesn't look nearly as big as Tallulah's kitten
Hubert to me.

Jill


I finally was able to find the pic using the usenet replayer thingy (I
don't get binary groups). It looks awfully sweet, but awfully pitiful
- those eyes are heartbreaking. Actually, it looks like this kitten
may be a little bigger than Hubert; Hube's a big kitten, but in most
of his pics he's next to Tallulah, and she's on the smallish side.

I do hope you can trap the little thing, and we are purring very, very
hard for this. Maybe you could put the trap out just for very short
times, when you've seen the kitten, so that maybe it could attract a
kitten close by but not the cats across the street? Please do keep us
updated about this baby!
