Princess the Kitten
While at work on September 11th there was a loud commotion of fire trucks and an ambulances across the street at the doctor's office. Being the nosy women we are we all had to rush outside to see what was going on. After the excitement was over with and we were headed back in we heard the faintest meow coming from under the ramp at work. After much bribery with food and the "kitty, kitty, kitty Ann a lady I work with managed to pry out a very small, malnourished kitten. After talking about it---no one was offering to take the kitten home and me being the sucker that I am decided it was a sign from God telling me to take the kitten home. Abbie told me a couple of days before that she wanted a baby kitten this big showing me by cupping her hands together and wanted to name it Princess. That afternoon the kitten went home with me! Since we've never had a cat I had to go buy all the necessities to properly care for a cat. That Friday I took Princess to the vet and she weighed 10 oz. and had an extremely bad case of double eye infection. It took about two weeks of oral and topical antibiotics to finally clear up her eyes. Sr. Inscoe guessed that she was probably only 5 weeks old. We've had her for 9 weeks now! Some of the things she likes to do are bite feet(ouch!), play with a feather toy and pick up my leather couches(not intentional). Needless to say Princess will become an outside cat this spring when we move into the new house.
