    I leave work owning 8 cats...

    I got out of work and stopped by my sister-in-law's new house. My 2 nephews were there. As I was in the bathroom changing my clothes, my older nephew says (sounding VERY serious) "Aunt Donna, I need to talk to you when you come out."

    Okay, so I thought I was in trouble. Tim starts with "First of all, you're NOT keeping it."

    Then he tells me how him, his younger brother and a friend were in the park playing when this kitten (about 10 months old) kept following them and meowing.

    Tim told me they put a towel underneath a hollow standing ashtray, with some food and water so the cat would have SOME kind of shelter. The temperature is dropping and it's supposed to get VERY cold tonight.

    I put my shoes on and walked over to the park and there was this sweet little female brown tiger tabby with a white bib, white paws and gold eyes. VERY thin. Someone OBVIOUSLY dumped her off in the park.

    That was it for me. I scooped up this little cat, wrapped a towel around her and put her in my car. She's now in my spare bedroom with all the comforts of home, while my brood hovers around the door wondering WHO the hell is in there NOW!!!

    I told my SIL I'd contact the shelter tomorrow morning (yeah right).

    Her ears are clean and she shows no signs of fleas. I'm still going to stop by the vet and get some Advantage and Drontil. Once I can come up with enough money, I'll take her in for a full physical.

    Without further adieu...I introduce you to Hannah Mae Yeah, okay, I'm STILL in the single digits!
