Heaven help me I acquired a new kitten this week. I swore after Krissy died, no more cats. Five is plenty. Like that saying goes... humans make plans, the universe laughs.

I was at the barn feeding Tuesday morning and BG started dancing around trying to get my attention. I turned around and he was sniffing a tiny kitten! Blew me away. My barn is W-A-Y off the road. She must have walked to get there, but it would have been a mighty hike to get there given her tiny little legs.

So it seems there is a new addition to the crew. She's probably around 6-8 weeks old. A tortoiseshell with yellow eyes. Very loving. Skinny as a rail. She was filthy when I found her but my grass is taller than she is. She probably got dirty wandering around the property. She's got some fleas, but I don't know of anything I can use on her given her age. I'm going to give her a bath later today.

I'm still puzzled how she got to the farm. Well, not puzzled. She had to have walked, but, again, the barn is a l-o-n-g way from anything else.

She doesn't have a name yet. My experience is that they tell me their name when the time is right.

We have an appointment at the vet Tuesday for a check up. She seems healthy, but I want to make sure.

No pictures yet, but will post as soon as I have some.

She probably heard about you through the kitty express and went looking for you! bet she's relieved to have found you!

Googley, the others are singing the hissing chorus with the growling refrain. Everyone will settle down eventually. Mikey was PO'd on Tuesday and let me know. By Wednesday he was clinging to me wanted reassurance he is still my favorite. I told him he is.
