My son was burning brush behind our house and had thrown some gas to start
the fire. He then sat down in a chair and suddenly this little furry thing
ran up his leg. He has an artificial leg so it was quite a clind for a
three week old kitten. Even though none of us liked cats, by the time we
bottle fed Mz Piglet, we were hers.



You rescued/ trapped them:
Guess you could say we rescued O T. Mahoney. The people that had him were
both mentallly retarded. When they said their cat had kittens, I decided to
helop find homes. Why I say we rescued is that when we went to get O T he
was hungry, covered with fleas and just plain aweful looking. Now he is my
baby.



From friend or relative :
Lee, from here, had a friend fron another newsgroup who had a kitten she
needed to rehome. Problem was Julie lived in Texas and we in Illinois. Lee
and her DH drove me to Oklahoma where we picked up Whispering Willow Walker.

I have at least four, sometimes six who come to my garage when there is bad
weather. I let them in, feed them and provide a warmer place to sleep. The
next day they leaves without so much as a thank you!
