So we had a deep fried turkey gathering with the neighbors on both sides of us, while visiting, Cora the farmer's wife told me that a baby kitten was in the hen house following the chickens around, she noticed it when she was in gathering eggs, the mother had been hit on the road she thought, she said it was a "wildcat" and she wasn't about to try and catch it, but just a teeny baby, sooo.....
I sent my nephew over to see if he could find it, he did, the poor thing was so small, its eyes were all matted shut and it could see nothing!! It was squalling so hard, it was starving, so I deserted our party and ran to the pet store to get some kitten formula to fill the teeny baby bottle I had, we cleaned it up, cleaned out it's eyes and washed it and gave it a good warm bottle of formula
I know, how horrid the poor baby looks, so tiny and dirty and scared to death, she looks like a tiny little rat, but after we got her cleaned up, she was the snuggliest little critter ever, and ate like a total hog, she just fit in the palm of my hand, she was still nursing and unable to eat yet on her own, she was immediately my favorite kitty in the house!!
She loves to crawl up on my shoulder and make her way back under my hair and fall asleep, she just wanted constant attention and I don't blame her, poor little mite . . .
I will update more on her later, but for now she is in her forever home!
