ANYWAY, I'm in a much different position in life now. I'm newly married (as of September 10th), and my husband called me from work today. He said that there was a kitten who had gotten into the machine shop, and he was dispatched (not sure why, but not complaining!) to retrieve the cat before it was injured. The part of Detroit he works in, there was almost no chance of this cat being a pet, and if it is, they probably won't notice that she's gone.
I drove down there, got the kitty, and brought her straight to the vet. She's about six weeks old, and GORGEOUS. We named her Isabelle, Izzy for short. She's a medium-haired gray tabby-ish kitten, and she is as affectionate as any cat I've ever seen. She loves attention and affection; she's walking all over me right now, and when I brought her home, I gave her a bath and then applied the flea drops the vet gave me, and she curled up on my lap and layed there for hours. She was much more interested in cuddling with me than with exploring her new home! I couldn't be happier to have a new kitty. I do have a couple of questions though, so I'll make a separate post in the health forum. I just wanted to say, I'm glad to be back, and glad to have a REASON to be back!
- Vicki.
