gigakitten

as i was leaving for work this morning (7:15) a tabby kitten with a
collar and bell came SPRINTING up to me on the porch. she would NOT
leave me alone, and was obviously somebody's pet. i could see no front
claws, and she was VERY friendly, wanting to be petted and picked up.

i ducked inside to try to figure out what to do, hoping that she
wouldnt leave. i went back outside and sat with her for a while, and
as people appeared outside, i asked if they knew whose kitten she was.
nobody knew.

finally, i ended up digging out hensley's kennel, a towel, a food and
water dish, and a makeshift litter box, and left her in it on the
front porch. she was ok with being in the kennel (as soon as food
appeared she went in), and then i shut the door, and she was still ok.
as i drove off, she was using the litter box.

my hope is that with her on the porch, her owners can hear her cries,
or maybe even see her. i just couldnt stay home from work to make sure
she was ok.

here's hoping we dont have to flyer the neighborhood.

An update: When Nala went home for lunch around 11, kitten was gone, and kennel was locked, so, someone took her. Hopefully her owner. Such a sweet kitten.
