As you know Kar...Well, what an amazing coincidence! As you know Karen, Hailey our golden retriever loves kittens... she sort of adopted a kitten and to this day it is still curling up with her. The other day while opening our pool, Hailey became very distressed and alerted us to follow her into the bush. There they were eight day old kittens with ants and dung flies covering them. The mother clearly gone, perhaps by way of coyotes, I brought them in and Emma came home from the Vet clinic with kitten milk and bottles. We fed them every two hours over the next day and night until Emma could take them with her to work. She worked out a deal with the SPCA that the clinic would spay and neuter the kittens when they were old enough if they could take care of them and adopt them out. They are beautiful and one of them was an orange male tabby. Morris sprung to my mind and as I held this day old kitten teaching him to suck from a bottle, he held my fingers with his little paws and began to purr. They renewed a sense of life that I so desparately needed right now. These little animals are placed in our paths for a reason, just like your mommakat in the sandbox, somehow she knows that she and her babies are safe. Just like Mom when we were kids, she taught us that everything has a purpose and a right to live. Maybe Mom is giving us a sign or at least some remembrances of sweet childhood memories. Oh, and Kitten Little was the little mommakat that took on Max's mean daschound with one swipe. She didn't even move...Max's dog apparantly was a cat killer. It went howling back to his car in a hurry and Kitten Little didn't move from her spot and it happened so fast, the four kittens playing around her didn't even see the dog! I loved that cat with all my heart. Thankyou for the wonderful memory. NanceNance Lesternoreply@blogger.com
