I just got home after a very nice night out, being a geek and looking at the stars and heard a rustling in the undergrowth but I assumed it was a hedgehog at first. Its now had some food, it was really really hungry, and it has a warm bed in our kitchen for the night as its far too cold for something so small (body about the length of my hand) to be out.

Ah, bless you. Poor little fella. Stray kitten or dumped (is there a difference)? Anyhows, look like you've just been adopted.

As above, it looks like you have now become the property of a cute little moggy. Congrats!

It must be the season for it. A month back whilst outside enjoying a smoke I heard the mewling of some kittens so proceeded to investigate and found 2 poor little mites in the undergrowth, tried to catch them but they darted off. A couple of days later the mrs got up in the night and we had left the back door open as it was a bit warm, when two furballs darted under the couch in the sunroom. These 2 had found their way into the house so we boxed them in and left some food out for them. Little by little every day we managed to coax them out and now they are healthy as you like, voracious appetite and hilarious personalities, little Annie and Ollie the orphans as we called them.

Ah, bless them. They're gorgeous.

Well its had some more food and it went back out this morning and haven't seen it since, so its either gone back to its proper home or its scouting about somewhere. I shall keep an eye out for it today though.

Around this time last year my sister found 6 kittens it a plastic bag, what sort of sick person does this sort of thing.

only 1 of the 6 was still alive and has survived although I'm not sure how much longer it will live as it suffers with bad health bad at least it had a good year to 18 months.

That's pretty much how we've got our three, or should it be the other way round?

Agreed.

Now keep her in for a few days so she can get used to you and getting food there, plus with this weather I think she will need to be safe and warm indoors.

I would like to fomarlly introduce you all to Bob, the new member of the family.



She's (looks like a she anyway) currently getting comfy on the dining room chairs. The other cat is not too happy about it and we shall have to make sure he gets plenty of attention as well.

You've already got another cat?

Just wait until word gets out. You'll have dozens of them before long.

Where I live it right on the edge of town it appears all the strays seem to end up this way. Of about 8 that I can remember only one we have actually picked and she was from the Cats Protection League as a rescue cat, the rest were all strays who we adopted (or adopted us)
