I think someone has dumped another kitty out here!
My son called me to look out the window today, saying he saw Cassie outside. I thought, "What? She can't be out there!!" (She's still penned in the barn for another week or so and doing quite well.
)
Well, it wasn't Cassie. It's a beautiful, very small and probably young tortie. I took some food and walked out to the edge of the yard, trying to cajole her with it. She wouldn't get any closer than 15-20 feet of me, but she didn't run off, either. I left the food at the end of the sidewalk and came back inside to see what would happen.
She still hasn't eaten the food, but I did see her again, so she is still out there. This poor baby must be scared to death! She doesn't even look like she is a year old yet. Her markings are gorgeous, and I'm pretty sure I saw some fantastic green eyes. Hopefully, I'm going to be able to gain her trust and have her checked out by my vet. We really need to get her spayed if she's going to hang around out here, so I hope that she can be caught.
I'm sure that she's been dumped, as I've never seen her out here before today. I'll keep you all posted.
