Little Man. Little “No Name” Man.

Funny how life can always grab me and take me completely away from things I am into. I would’ve been posting a little more frequently but this past week has been crazy. Last Friday for example.. I got off work early for a doctor appointment but I stopped at my house before the appointment. On the way into my neighborhood a woman put out her hand to stop me. I stopped to see this baby kitten hop half way across the road then run back. He just did not want to run to the woman. He finally had the courage but when the woman went to grab him he ran. So I went to the doctor. Then I biked to the gym. On the way home I took a detour to the cat. I sat down and started talking to him. He was so sweet. I reach out to pet him and he ran into the near by bushes. (Hmph. Fail). So I went home. I got my mom and we walked back to see the kitten. I sat down again and talked to him. My mom left me and went home to get a towel just in case I was able to grab it. While mom was gone he let me pet him. The neighbors came and talked to me. One went and got a plate of cat food. We put it in the fence the kitten was hiding in. The kitten ate the entire plate. Still randomly letting me pet him. Bryan came home and my mom went and got him. The neighbor went and got another plate of food and a fishing net (Yes, this sounds mean… No it wasn’t mean at all). We put the food in the net. Caught our little man. Put little man in a kennel and took him to the vet. The vet was closed (of course he was it was 7:30 on a Friday night). BUT he was still there. He came outside and listened to the cat’s heart and checked him out. Said he was too young, maybe 6 weeks, but didn’t have time to realize he was a ferrule cat. He also said that the cat probably was so desperate for help he didn’t mind a human. So we took the cat to the pets store… got him so food, toys, and wipes. Took him to Cook Out with us (yes we were hungry). Then we went to Bry’s house to show his mom. (NOTE: Bry had just lost his cat 2 weeks before all of this. Ironically the kitten looks like Bryan’s old cat. AND even more ironically, the neighborhood had been calling the kitten Socks, which is Bryan’s old cat’s name) So his mom LOVED our kitten. We are letting the kitten stay with Bryan’s family until we move into our own place next year when we get married. But we did leave there and take the cat back to my house.. we gave him a dawn bath to kill as many fleas as possible. Then we just hung out and the cat cuddled so hard all Friday night. He slept in the kennel from like 11pm until 4am. At 4 he meow-ed for about 5 minutes then slept til 7. Then Bry and I took him to the vet. He had roundworms and a cold. We have treated him for both. He was too young for shots. 10 more days they said.

Then on Sunday we had our engagement pictures!!! I cannot wait to see them!! I absolutely my photographer/best friend/bridesmaid. She is so awesome! Maybe she will guest post on here! If not I’ll definitely share!!

Happy 4th of July everyone!!! ❤
