Found a Stray Kitten

[catcrazylady]

OMG!! He is adorable!! Poor little fellow sounds like such a sweetheart and to have that nasty woman treat him that way! STOMP HIM!!!! What a $@!*&!!!! I hope somebody stomps her one day just for being friendly!

I'm so glad you went and got him. Bless his heart. I hope you get to keep him because it sounds like he has already stolen your heart.
Bless you and thank you for stepping in when you saw that baby needed you.
Keep us posted on the cutie patootie!

Soooo darling!!! I love his little white chest patch!
Major kudos to Nom and Nathan for rescuing him! I cannot even believe someone would stomp on a harmless little kitty...
I look forward to updates!

P.S. As for sleeping in the litter box...looks like it is a covered box if that is it in the last pic. Maybe if the bed you have for him now is not enclosed, then he would prefer (and use!) a covered sleeping area...like a tent or a carrier or a box on its side, etc. I would guess that it just makes him feel safer. Just a guess!
At second glance...it looks like you already have a box on its side as a bed! Okay, I dunno then!

Poor little guy!!! I'm so glad he was spotted, and rescued before anything worse happened to him. He looks like an Oriental shorthair! I sure hope the wicked woman who stomped on him gets hers! Do keep us updated!

Well it's 6am and for some silly reason I can't sleep.

I've been into the bathroom 2x since last night - he's had a normal looking pee and a normal looking poop. Since he's used the litter box for its intended purpose, he's not sleeping in it. I also put an extra soft towel in the cardboard box, so maybe he just hadn't found it insulated enough, as the floor to the shower is a bit cold.

When I get up to stay up (I will be attempting more sleep ) I will move him from the shower into the bathroom, and jam towels under the door. I need to use my shower so he's going to have to get out of there!! The main reason he was isolated to the shower was I wanted to see if he would spray, but he obviously knows how to use the litter box and he hasn't sprayed anything.

I did find a flea on him It was a big one too. I'm going to get some Advantage for him, Tilly and Nutmeg today because I want to be safe rather than sorry later. I've been thinking about putting Tilly and Nutmeg on Revolution anyway, so this will be the test run. I would just get Revolution now but that requires a vet exam and I'm going to hold off on that until the end of the week.

Other than that, he's just a purry cuddle bum monster He LLOOOOVES scritches and when he purrs he drools haha. He mewed at me when I was in there and he didn't get to come out of the shower, but only twice, and when he knew he wasn't going to be coming out he just went back to his box and quieted down. I hate to keep him cramped up in there but I know it's for his own good, and especially for Tilly and Nutmeg, who, after all, were here first.

I will keep you all updated as much as possible

I'm so glad you could rescue this little guy. (I'm especially partial to black cats.)

It's unfortunate that there are jerks in this world like that woman. But fortunate that you were there for the kitty.

He needs a name. Maybe Black Jack?

Naomi,

You are the best for taking in this poor little putty. He is so sweet looking. I'd have reported the 6itch for animal cruelty!! I'm glad you got him away from her.

(((((hugs)))))) to you!!

[ratchet22]

tHANKS SOOO MUCH FOR HELPING HIM. SHE DOESNT KNOW HOW LUCKY SHE IS I DIDNT SEE THAT HAPPEN. I HAVE A TEMPER WHEN IT COMES TO THE BABIES. I WOULD HAVE LOST IT ON HER.

HE IS A REAL SWEETIE, I HOPE YOU GET TO KEEP HIM

[persianmom]

Some one should stomp on him. she must be a mean person to be so unkind to something so much smaller that her. I'm glad you have taken him in you are a kind soul and will be rewarded for that kindness.

Thanks for saving a kitty's life! What a cutie!

I know that Leila slept in the litterbox a little bit when we first adopted her - not sure what that's all about. Anyway, she doesn't do it anymore.

I hope that the mean, sick, lady who stomped on this cute little guy gets what's coming to her. I really hope that they start to punish people who commit acts of animal cruelty on a similar level to those who commit violent acts against humans. To me, they should get very severe punishment. Who says an animal's life isn't as valuable as a human's?

[ramanth]

Oh Naomi, he's just precious!! Thank you for saving him. I hope the flea issue doesn't get out of control.


(And thanks to Nathan too for helping )

I treated Kitten and my two girls yesterday with Advantage. It seemed to work well, because when I got home from school the fleas were crawling off Kitten in a feeble attempt at life But I also discovered last night that he does indeed have worms - tapeworms, which is to be expected because of the fleas - so I've been doing some calling around with estimates on getting him all vet checked. I will also deworm Tilly and Nutmeg, just to be on the safe side. They haven't been dewormed since kittenhood so it won't hurt them.

No one had come into the theatre looking for him, etc. There are no ads in the paper. Today when I went into the bathroom I decided to tidy up, and I took in a broom, and he cowered in a corner and hissed at me I picked him up and put him on the counter, and that seemed to calm him a bit. He's also terrified of plastic bag noise.

So I will keep updating as I know more.. which is never very much
