Quoted: That is one cute little bugger, you did good  I've got 4 rescue cats that allow me to live with them, they were all a similar story to yours, right place and the right time. One was as tiny as your little guy and almost ended up hawk food, that's how I found him, I saw the hawk perched staring intently down watching him in the weeds  ARFcom take note, this is how it's done  Quoted: Quoted: And fuck the cat haters.

| Good save. I had gotten a kitten a few years back I named Gir. He was the best. He would sit on my head and watch TV with me, he'd jump up on the bed and sleep on my head at night. When I'd get home from work he'd be sitting by the door waiting for me. He would stalk me throughout the house and attack me then he'd run and hide so I could stalk him. I had him for about 3 weeks. I didn't know it at the time but he was sick and one day my wife called me and told me he wasn't doing so well. I left work early and found him laying in my chair. He passed away. His little body was still warm. It was the hardest day of my life. I held him in my arms and just cried. He was the best cat I had and I still miss him. Burying him was the worst. |

Nice.
Besides the occasional vomit on the stairs, you've got a pretty independent and loving pet there. Take care of it while it's with you, and you'll get a lot more out than you put in. Of the acceptable pets, cat strikes the perfect balance between independence, cuteness, and affection. |

Good save. That cat will be loyal forever. Nothing forgets it's station in life faster than a cat.
Beggar to emperor faster than a top fuel car can blow an engine. He will be a loyal emperor, though. Benevolent, even.

| Good on ya OP. I made a similar rescue when I was working as a cop. Found a sick little bugger, on her way out. It was going to be deathly cold over the weekend and she would have died. Scooped her up and brought her to the vet. A week later and $300 lighter, she is still with me and my wife to this day and I couldn't ask for a better kitteh than my Shizzle. |

Quoted:
We've got two and the wife wants another. I like the two we have but three is too many. If I came across that little guy, I would have taken it home too. Good job OP. I said the same thing, two in the house is enough; then I rescued the tiny kitten from being hawk lunch, now three. Then last summer I looked out and a tiny white fuzzball was sitting under a bush in the rain. It took a week but he decided we were going to be friends, now four in the house The four of them roam the house like a pride of lions and truth be told, four isn't any more trouble than two were, they all follow me around like puppies and when I sit down it's who gets the lap first

And they are stubborn about it sometimes. When we go on vacation we put out a litter box. Once we get back and remove the box they get cranky and will sometimes drop a growler on the floor. |
