We had an overnight guest for a little while. Her name is Mai Tai. Apparently, Uncle Dan called Mommy last Thursday all nervous because some people drove by the house and just handed this little tiny kitten to him. They said she was found all by herself in an old tire. Then they just left. He has never had a kitten that little before, so Mommy told him to go to PetsMart and get the bottle and KMR and kitten canned food. From the conversation I was listening too, I thought she was just going to talk him and Grandpa and Grandma thru how to take care of her, but NOOOO, of course not, she has to go their and see her and love her up and then bring her home to check out and take care of at least for the first few nights. So at this point, Mom will not let us near her since she has not been tested for Felv or Fiv and she had fleas. She did tell us that she was definately a girl and she thought she was between 3 and 4 weeks. She looked better than a lot of other kittens she has seen out on their own. She actually looks alot what I picture Gloria would have looked like as a kitten.

So back to Mai Tai, that kitten can eat and when she wants something she just meows like crazy. Mom was up with her every four and five hours. She did not cry to wake her to eat but she saw her up she would open up her little lungs and just go. She loves her bottle and she was getting a little wet food from a spoon too which I have to admit was kind of cute to watch. She went to the vet on Monday and got a clean bill of health. Mommy had gotten rid of all the fleas and so now the little one is running around the house. She is following me the most though and I am not happy about it. I hiss at her and growl and swat, but do not touch her because she scares me; but she keeps staring at me and then follows me. Mommy thinks I may look like her birth mommy to her and she is just trying to figure it out. I told the kid, no way, the oven never worked, not this kitty.

Thankfully now Grandma came and took her back to their house, Uncle Dan is looking to buy a house of his own soon and is going to keep Mai Tai and then get her a sibling. He said he is naming his next kid Frozen, so that way when company comes over he can offer them a Frozen Mai Tai and two cats walk in the room. What a furball!!!!
