Today while I was at work, I was busy restocking shelves and my friend Jenn (she works with me) shouted, "OH MY GOD WHAT THE *&$%" She had seem a woman across the street pick up a black cat, smack it in the behind, throw it on the ground and then stomp on it.
I went rushing across the street and called him to me. He's probably 5mos, is not neutered, black, white with siamese, and about the sweetest kitty I've ever seen in my life. I called Nathan to come pick him up and he's now staying in my bathroom, in my shower, because I want to keep him isolated from Tilly and Nutmeg.
I didn't see an actual flea, but there are reddish brown flecks of dirt coming off him so I will be getting some Advantage, just in case. When I go visit him I am very careful to not let him touch my clothes and I wear a smock. He's SO sweet though.. he just wants love.
I'm not going to post any "found cat" posters but I will give it about a week to see if anyone comes around asking about a lost cat. If not, looks like I might have a new kitty in the house Right now, Tilly is extremely upset, but that is to be expected. Nutmeg is curious but not being a snit, like Tilly is. I don't know where I will find the money to have his blood tested, etc but I will manage somehow. There is no way I will let him go back to that woman, if she was in fact his owner.
So, I will keep you updated. Please keep this little black kitty in your prayers, that he is healthy, has a happy home (either with his old owners, with me, or whomever adopts him) and that I won't have a huge flea infestation in my house!
