Cat in the Cap
Mike was walking to town to do some shopping, and while crossing the bridge, he heard a kitten meowing frantically down by the river bank. After shopping, Mike crossed the bridge to go home, and heard the kitten crying out even louder. Being a lover of animals, Mike simply could not bear to leave a kitten in distress. He went down to the river bank under the bridge, called out to the kitten, and it came running out of the blackberries. After looking around for the kittens’ mother and not finder her, or any other kittens, Mike brought the kitten home, it was very hungry.
Sleeping after eating
I woke up to the cries of a kitten, but all of our cats have been fixed, I was puzzled. Mike explained how he found the hungry kitten at the river bank under the bridge. “Cows milk is not good for kittens” I said, “but we don’t have any kitten milk, try feeding it tuna”. Well, the kitten was too young to eat on its’ own, but did drink tuna juice from an eye dropper. Later that day I bought skim milk to feed the kitten until we could purchase some kitten milk (some years ago, my vet told me if you have to feed cows milk to a cat, use non-fat as the butterfat is what is difficult for cats to digest). Mike bought kitten milk the next day, it drank very heartily from the eye dropper.
Hi, my name is “River”
We guestimated the kitten at four weeks old, and was probably someone’s pet as it was too well groomed. Mike posted the kittens picture on FaceBook resulting in many “likes”. After receiving many suggestions for names, Mike settled on “River”, as that was where he found her. We’ve had River almost a week now, and we are all falling in love her. Look for updates on River and we will watch her grow together (I think it is a “her”, hard to tell this early).
