I'm shocked, Liz, shocked! And a vicar, to boot!

Then again, they're cats. Unfathomable.

Me, I'm suffering from a kitty dilemma. I cannot have another cat. My one year old neutered fella is in and out during the day and in before dark. A lady about a half km. from here has been feeding a few ferals for a couple years, and has not had them fixed; just gives away as many kittens as she can, not an ideal situation, but not a problem for me until now.

One of those kittens (I think it's one of hers, haven't been able to get her on the phone) started visiting here two weeks ago. Can't be more than three-four months old, tiny, white with grey tail and forehead marks, fluffy, little sweet pointy face, absolutely appealing. It has fallen in love with my boy, follows him around like a puppy, puts up with all manner of indignities. I can't get near it, but if I leave the door open and move to another room, it sneaks in and makes a beeline for the catfood. It disappears for several days and then comes back. Two nights this week, when I brought mine in, it sat outside the patio door and cried for hours, only letting up when my fella would nose her(?) through the screen.

Coyotes will have this little thing sooner than later, so I'm trying to convince someone to take it, or else I might have to get it 65 km. to the nearest shelter - but I'd really like to talk to the cat lady first. This little critter is breaking my heart.

Anybody wanna cat?
