I Has a Kitten

[sadlikeknives]

And yea, I call down curses and plagues on whatever fuckhead left it and its littermates on the side of the highway near my parents' house. I saw two dead kittens, one alive one. The one alive one was in the southbound lane while I was traveling north, so I slammed on the brakes, hit the emergency flashers, and ran to grab a kitten. They're real easy to catch when they're PETRIFIED WITH TERROR.

I do not even have words.

Said kitten is six weeks at the absolute oldest--I am no judge of these things, all I know is it's teeny but it's definitely kitten-shaped and not, like, cat larva--black and white, of indeterminate gender, and currently hiding under my (claw-footed) bathtub. It is also at least as cute as my icon.

We can't keep it. We already have six cats, between my parents four and my two, who live there part-time. But I couldn't have lived with myself if I hadn't stopped.

So...anybody want a kitten?

My camera is broken!

...*gets Mom's camera* Is film. Pictures will be forthcoming after I use up like a whole row on the fuzzy.

[teleute12.livejournal.com]

N'awwww, fuzzy. I look forward to seeing them!

A whole ROLL of photos, obviously, and hi, I didn't sleep much last night. It shows.

Heh, I figured that was probably what you meant. Take a nap?

It's appalling that anyone would just abandon kittens in a box like that, especially next to a high way. Good for you for rescuing it.

Is there an animal shelter around that you could take it to? They'd make sure that the adorable kitty would end up with someone who'd love it.

I'm also looking forward to pictures of the cuteness.

The shelter had a thing in the Saturday paper about how they have lots of kittens to adopt!!!11! Which I took to mean, "Holy crap we're full of kittens." So we're trying to find Miss Tinypants (my dad wants to call her Lucky, but I think Lucky is too common) a new home on our own.

Oh, that's unfortunate. :/ I wish you good luck in your search to find a place for l'il Miss Tinypants.
