The stray kitten that I've been taking care of and adopted into my home, well it turns out the kitten is not a stray afterall. The cat actually belongs to one of the neighbors.
The 2 kittens were sitting at the back door side by side watching the kids play outside. It turns out where this little girl, probably about 5 years old, notices the kitten. She must've said something to her mom. Well, I was putting the dishes away and there was a knock at the door. The mother explains to me that the kitten is actually theirs. They were both so excited that the kitten was actually ok.
So I tried to explain to the lady that I thought the kitten was a stray because it came to my house twice to be fed even before I decided to take it in. The cat was wearing no collar and hollering it's little lungs out because it was hungry. Both times, it just ate like a little pig, so after the second time, I left the kitten in the house.
It was a wasted conversation though, because the lady is French with poor English and I'm English with poor French. LOL! Anyway, they took the kitten and thanked me for taking care of it. They weren't upset, they were just relieved because the kitten wasn't road kill or had run off for good.
So, I'm a little bummed because I actually got attached to this kitten. It only lived with me for 5 days, but it was like I was it's mom. The kitten followed me around everywhere and I spoiled the little bugger rotten, just like I do my kitten.
I just hope from this point forward, they take better care of the kitten.
