baby kitty

[Grampa]

A few weeks ago, lm (Michelle) calls me at work to tell me her friend found an abandoned kitten in their yard, and it looks to be only about 3 weeks old.      "crap, another pooping thing in the house", was my first response.

When I got home, stories of her friend Ed taking the cat, just as soon as he moves into his new house, filled the air.

Tired from a hard days work, I plopped down on the couch, feet up on the coffee table, Michelle brings out baby kitty and puts it on my stomach. It then proceeds to crawl up my chest, snuggles under my chin, and purrs itself to sleep.

Ed.... will not be getting this cat, I say quietly to myself (instant love)

Baby kitty had many names, mostly, because it's sex had yet to be determined.

Punkin, squeaker, Boo.... an endless list, but mostly..... just plain ol baby kitty.



Baby kitty passed away this morning.

It woke up slower than usual, not quite it's feisty self, struggled to eat, and when held, looked as if it just wanted to sleep.
Michelle took it into the vet before heading into work..... ten minutes later, she got the call that baby kitty had passed.

Some sort of virus  they said.


It's been a very long day, and if Nick (speedog), had not wandered into town as a great distraction... I'd be knee deep in a bottle of tequila right now.

bye bye baby kitty

Another little Furry friend has blessed us with there presence, albeit for a short span of time,

Take heart in the fact that for the short time the little guy was with you, he would have had a happy little life.

Goodbye little mate 


But sadly a kitten that young separated from it's mother will have a very poor immune system, they need mothers milk for a little longer yet.

Sorry Joel.

Being as young as she was when separated from her mama it's a wonder she survived as long as she did.

RIP kitteh..

Sorry to hear BP, I know it's hard, but just think about what a wonderful thing you did for baby kitty.  You took it in and gave it a comfortable place to be with food and a warm place to sleep.  It's time was short, but at least you cared enough to make that time good ~
