Another Dr. Doolittle moment today. Driving down my dirt road about 4 pm. I see this tiny black thing on the side of the road. More in the road than on the side. I slow down and I see that it is a kitten.
I asked my Mother, did she see the kitten she said she didn't. I kept on driving slowly because there was a car behind me and I did not want to create and obstacle for them. They saw the kitten and slowed, but the kitten ran off into the woods.
Mother said, "Poor thing". "I wonder how many there are?" So I went back. I didn't see the kitten and was not sure where I had saw it before, so I got out of the car to see if I heard anything. Immediately after I got out I heard it "meow". I looked down and it was walking towards me like he was saying, "About time!"
I picked him up. He was so skinny and tiny. I put him on the back seat. He looked up at me as if he was saying, "Home Jane".
I took him home.
He is on the front porch and he is more docile and cuddly than Sylvester or Enoch. I have to get him checked out by the vet and treated before I can introduce him to the rest of the pack. But he seems to think the place is his.
I was going to name him Joseph because his coat is of many colors, but he would not respond to Joseph. So, I asked him if he thought he was a king. I said are you Nebuchadnezzar, and yep, he walked right over laid down on his back and demanded I rub his belly.
If I say Nebuchadnezzar he turns his head and he comes. If I call him Nebbie, he won't even look at me. If I call him Chad, he won't look at me. If I call him Nebuchadnezzar he turns his head looks at me, and comes if I tell him to come.
So, here we go again. So far Sylvester and Enoch will look at him from the window, but they have not made a sound towards him, and had not made any attempt to get his attention. I think he is so tiny, they are not so sure about him yet. The Huskies looked at him from the outside of the porch, but they haven't weighed in on him yet either. And tiny Nebuchadnezzar, so far, is ignoring them as well.
