a couple of weeks ago, shortly before otis went to his new home, actually, i found a stray kitty and brought her home. she was feral, but still young enough to be tamable. she spent a few days in the bathroom, learning to use the litterbox, then moved into the extra bedroom. finally, she got free reign of the house, once we were sure she would use the litterbox consistently. she has turned out to be a very sweet little kitty!
the downside to taking her in, however, came when we realized that she is, more likely than not, pregnant. i think she is probably in her 6th week now so i think we have about 3 and a half more weeks. she is just a little thing herself so i am a little worried about her having kittens. but, we have been feeding her kitten food and giving her kitten milk to help her get all the nutrients she needs to have healthy babies. :-) ed suggested taking her to the shelter, where they have experience with cats giving birth, but they have so many cats and kittens now, they would probably euthanize her and i couldn't live with myself if that happened. so, we are going to be kitty parents again. hopefully, this time will have a different result than the last.
