I think I've run into another pet.
When I came home tonight I saw a set of very large ears peeking up over a mauled bag of trash.
It looked to be a cat- not a kitten, but a cat... so boy was I surprised when a tiny little kitten with MASSIVE EARS bolted across my drive and tried to hide in the grass. The grass isn't all that tall, so I tracked it down and when it didn't run, reached towards- finally, after I scratched the ears, it mustered up the courage to go run and hide behind the Ranger's old tires (STILL waiting for little brother to pick those up).
Nabbed it and brought it in the house.
Couldn't resist... looked hungry, those ears are IRRESISTIBLE and it's supposed to storm like mad tonight. Kitten is currently in my dog's crate.
I guess I'm off to Walmart to buy a litterbox and some kitten food so that I can loose the little monster in the bathroom for a few days and see how it does.
I didn't think to check gender until I had released it into the crate, and now that it has its courage back it's all so much hissing and spitting...
It's a white and gray tabby!
So here's a question- those of you who rent with more than two cats- how did you find a place that would accept your whole crew? I only have the very small dog (and now this kitten, it seems) and a couple of caged pets, but boyfriend has a cat as well and when he moves in we'll have the two cats and one very small dog.
