Kitten was named Abe after Abe Lincoln.

I had not one, but two kittehs crawl inside my head and heart.

They’re still there.

=^..^= =^..^=

[Slings and Arrows]

I figured it wasn’t Abe after Abe Vigoda. ;^)

[Slings and Arrows]

Persistant that way, they are.

[Josa]

That was my first thought too. Didn’t really happen. Media set it up so they could get a feel good story out there to distract from the destruction being wrought on our country. People, don’t let them manipulate you.

You got that right. Miss Hissy Slashy teleports all the time. She will be sitting at my feet, and I’ll walk into another room, and there she is, lying down and acting as if she had just awakened as I walked in.

She’s eerie, but she likes a tummy rub as much as normal cats do.

Thanks for the heartwarming ping, SA&.

What a great Thanksgiving story! The best ones involve kittens!

I had not one, but two kittehs crawl inside my head and heart.

That happened to me, too......That's how I came to have five of the little critters. That last two to arrive are a brother/sister act. They are now almost 6 months old and wrecking havoc in my house. I can tell they are sharpening their claws in anticipation of my Christmas decorations!

.....but I love 'em!

"...how did that teensie weensie little kitty end up inside the statue?"

"Probably the same way you get a mouse in a beer bottle, eh."

[ZirconEncrustedTweezers]

Or maybe Jeff?

[Verginius Rufus]

Not the statue of Abraham Lincoln at the Lincoln Memorial.

[Slings and Arrows]

Correct.

[Slings and Arrows]

Always a pleasure.

Yesterday, a woman down the street called me about a 5 week old kitten crying outside her door...all gray just like this one. She wanted me to come and take it. I said I am full ( I am) and can't take anymore right now, but if she could just tame it for a month, and i'll take it to get adopted. She said, 'well, she said she can't tame it because she is having company come over the Holiday. 'So, she called Animal care and control. They came to take it. She wrote me saying that it was purring and playing with her for awhile before they came. I had told her that if she gave it to them, that they would just put it down and they confirmed it to her when she asked. I did not think she would go through with it. She did. She writes me today saying she is sick to her stomach over her decision and can't get it out of her mind.

Good.

Such a tiny baby. Glad it was rescued and will be cared for.

[Slings and Arrows]

Amen.

[Lady Jag]

Unless it was a prank, the rest of his family shouldn't be too far away.

Give a hand

[Lady Jag]

Is he still alive?

[Lady Jag]

For the first time in my owned-by-cats life I had the chance to actually choose one. Drove two hours to look at a Siamese litter of six. Wanted a chcolate point and there were two.

As I was attempting to pull one out of the cage, it pulled back and another kitten tried to leap into my arms. Tried to pull the other chocolate point out and the same kitten crawled over it and into my hands. A crowd had gathered at the cat show as this little seal point insisted on being mine.

So, in my forever being chosen by stray cats coming out of the woods, it was finally and permanently established that cats do indeed choose you!

[Hot Tabasco]

That’s a weird looking cat. What did you do, jam it thru ten feet of pvc?

[Slings and Arrows]

Hard to tell.
