I’m getting adopted!

I’ve been adopted once or twice before and it’s always been a real neat experience.

A couple weeks ago I was minding my own business but that got boring. So I went next door and started minding Barry’s business. Turns out Barry has some shady business so I went back to minding my own. Then I went crazy and started minding my manners.

I went outside and walked around for a little while and that’s when I heard it.

The sound was unmistakable.

The ears? Unmistakable.

The tail? Couldn’t miss it.

It’s a kitten!

There was a small hungry kitten hiding in a bush.

Turns out this little one was the same cat I’d seen a couple times before, but I thought she belonged to one of my neighbors.

She is black and white and she seemed very hungry. So I went inside, telling Barry to go fuck himself as I entered my own door. I grabbed a can of tuna and put it down for her outside.

It took a few days before I could pet her.

The poor kitten was very skinny. Too skinny.

She is black and white and extremely fluffy. She’s putting on weight. These last few days especially, she feels a lot healthier.

She’s skittish. A couple times I was petting her she freaked out and threw claws. She lives under my deck and naps in the sun. I’d like to bring her inside before the weather turns fall-nasty but she still needs to get used to me.

She is now my new kitten friend.

I like being adopted.
