Jewel came to live with me when she was 3 weeks old. My lady friends son was a maintenance man for a church. One of his duties was to maintain houses that the church owned.
He was at one of the properties one day when a momma cat came out from underneath the front porch with a tiny kitten in tow. He thought about it and he picked up the kitten and placed it back under the porch with the momma and litter mates.
A few moments later here comes the momma with the baby who she once again left in the front yard. After several more attempts to reunite the tiny kitten with his family John realized the results would always be the same.
He brought the kitten home. He knew that he could not bring the kitten inside his home due to the fact that he was father to several rather rambunctious Dachshunds.
Eventually the I was asked if I could possibly take the kitten as it wasn't faring well in the cab of his pick up truck and he really didn't have time to bottle feed it.
Jewel was a beautiful orange almost gold, hence her name. It is absolutely true what they say about bottle fed kittens. We had an unbreakable bond. Even though she had a wild streak and didn't form much of a bond with anyone else, she loved to lay in my lap as I petted her.
I have taken in quite a few strays since I first came to know Jewel. She is the only cat I have ever known that would come to me every time that I called her. I think of her often and miss her dearly. Nathan Dacus
