Kitty Blu

I thought I'd share a picture of Kitty Blu ...

This pretty kitty has been with us for eight days.

Early last Saturday, the power went out

in our neighborhood.

I was supposed to be cooking for a church dinner

that night, so I'll admit I was a little

... nervous ... 

when the lights flickered off and the

ceiling fans grew silent.

Doc came in from the garage and said,

Let's go get some breakfast!

So we drove to a place we've never tried before

and heard this pathetic yelping coming

from the ditch of tall grass.

Upon closer inspection,

a tiny white kitten, starving and mangled,

was making the racket.

Well, against my better judgement,

we left her there.

Thirty people came and went while

we ate breakfast ... and that kitty was the

topic of conversation at our table.

I told Doc, 

if she's still there after we've eaten,

then she needs us.

If she's gone, then that's okay.

heh heh

Yep!  She was there, and she came right

up to me.  She sniffed at the

bacon we offered her,

but she wanted to be held.

Then she wanted to eat a little,

and be held again.

She was just so ... needy!!

My momma-instincts took over, I suppose.

Once we were home again,

the power was on, but Kitty needed a bath.

She actually purred like a little

motorboat while we bathed her and 

removed three ticks and oh, say,

three thousand fleas.

Her tail was ... broken.

Not bobbed, because the end piece

was actually still attached.

Not sure for how long ... time will tell.

This is Kitty Blu.

We LOVE her!

 

Oh, and I was able to get all my

dishes prepared for the

church dinner that night.  Yummy

homemade macaroni & cheese

and a strawberry pretzel salad for dessert.

peace out
