My daughter heard some meowing last night, but we didnt think anything of it. Then in the middle of the night our dog needed to go out, and I could still hear it, so I tried to look - but seeing as it was 4AM I didnt put much effort in. Cut to this morning, as we go to load up my wifes car with stock for her RenFest booth (well be open next weekend so have to get ready). And the meowing is still going on. So this time I go all-out. Check the tall grass between our house and our neighbors, nothing. Open the trunk, nope. Under the seats? Nada. And then I realize what I have to do. I call my son out and have him crawl under the car with a flashlight - bingo. Kitten. In the engine block. Pop the hood to get a better view and then jack the car up to give our son more room to work, and there s/he is. Tiny kitten. https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/7/9/3/AADcu0AADVFZ.jpg We already have five cats, so were not planning on keeping this one. But we are going to keep it around until its a few weeks older - we estimate age at four weeks. Got some kitten milk and wet food and the kitty is settling in very nicely as my wifes new nap partner/parrot. --- JonThePenguin http://www.backloggery.com/main.php?user=erunion ...

Aww, what a little cutie! Glad you're able to help it out. Did you give this one a name? Also, pics of your other five cats? How are they treating the little one? --- BlueCrystalTear | You're living your own life. You're you. #FearTheDeer | ((FREE HUGS)) ... Copied to Clipboard!

The other cats have mostly ignored the new arrival; it seems to have picked our small dog, Sherlock, as its new mommy in the meantime. https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/8/2/9/AADcu0AADVF9.jpg --- JonThePenguin http://www.backloggery.com/main.php?user=erunion ...

Awww, that's adorable! We'll see how the little one adjusts to its new family, since... I don't think it's gonna want to leave. I think it chose you guys. As for a name... I was thinking Carburetor given where it was found. Watson works too tbh. --- BlueCrystalTear | You're living your own life. You're you. #FearTheDeer | ((FREE HUGS)) ... Copied to Clipboard!

Update: We've found a wet food the little one likes (Fancy Feast Kitten). Still working on getting business to be done in a litter box rather than the floor. Other cats still not interested. My son wants to call him/her Enzo, while my daughter is on the Watson train. As a compromise I suggested Enzo Watson; this seems to have cooled the argument for now. https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/3/1/6/AADcu0AADVdM.jpg Fresh out of a bath and still a bit cold. --- JonThePenguin http://www.backloggery.com/main.php?user=erunion ...

Not sure if you've had kittens this young before, but if you take a towel, put some warm water on it and gently rub their butt it simulates the mom licking it with her tongue which is how moms get their cat to go. Do it in the litter box and they take to it very quickly. --- http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lcb35gGx0t1qailr4o1_500.gif http://www.megavideo.com/?v=57N0YAEJ ... Copied to Clipboard!

So this isnt really the update I wanted to have, but when we woke up today she was weak and listless. Took her to the vet. They gave her some fluids, antibiotics, and antiparasitics. She perked up okay, at least as perky as she got, and we decided to take her with us to our RenFest booth since we were going to be there all day, the better to keep an eye on her. While there we got a great many people interested in her, including one from a kitten rescue. After some thought, we decided it would be best if we sent her to them, since we really dont have the bandwidth and experience to properly care for her. We met up late in the evening, and by the time I got to the meeting place she was back to the way she was this morning. Sowell see. https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/0/3/0/AADcu0AADW2e.jpg (Once the kids found out she was female they abandoned the previous names of Enzo and Watson theyd been arguing over and started instead arguing over Sparky and Rose.) --- JonThePenguin http://www.backloggery.com/main.php?user=erunion ...
