This morning, I found a lost kitten in the garden. It was wandering around in the snow crying. It trotted up to me when it saw me. It was gray with gray stripes that are hard to see. It had blue eyes. It looked very much like my girl friends parents' lost cat -- they had lost one while traveling here to visit about 2 years ago. Their gray cat was small, about the size of a half grown cat, the same size as this cat. Their gray escaped from their car while they were stopped at a gas station in northern California about 600 miles away.
I thought it was possible that it could have found its way back here. So, not knowing what to do, I left it outside and went in and told my gf about it -- she was still in bed. Hey Aelys, your parents' cat found its way home (it had lived here for 1 summer 2 years ago.
My gf is a sucker for small animals. She has rescued puppies, kittens, and recently, baby squirrels. About an hour later, gf crawled out of bed and went into the garden to see if it was still there. It was. As soon as she picked it up, it started purring with that loud buzzing that kittens make. She instantly fell in love with it and brought it into the house and gave it a plate of food. She checked it, but it wasn't her parents' cat. Their's was a female -- this was a male. I hadn't bothered to look. She's already got a cat, and I told her somebody is missing it. It has a collar, after all. No name or address, just a collar. She has now put up "LOST KITTEN" flyers all over the neighborhood.
Anyway, she has already named him Walter. He's extremely gassy and emits a bad smell every few minutes. You can't even touch without making him fart. I didn't realize a cat could stink like that. What's he been eating? I call him Farting Walter. I hope somebody claims him soon.
