The sound of a tiny kitty being dragged around...

I heard a tiny kitten mewing and looked out the window to see the neighbors small dog dragging one of their kittens around the yard by the foot like a toy. Poor thing. I ran over and put a stop to it and went to let the neighbors know.

They said something like - oh - we told him not to do that but he has it out for the black one, I wonder why. As if to throw a little racist joke in at the same time.

This is the same neighbor who got this tiny little chihuahua mix and made it an outdoor dog as a tiny little puppy. Their unspayed cat probably killed the rabbit they used to have (that ended up dead in the yard somehow). Just seems like they should care more.

Anyway, we go out the look at the kittens and they pick her up and I ask to hold her. She's just covered in sticker burrs from the yard - some really embedded in her little fur deeply. As I pick them out they ask me if I want her or any of the kittens.

I couldn't bear to put her back in with the dog so I took her home on a trial basis knowing my husband does not want another cat.

As soon as he walked in he made that very clear.

Then I told him the whole story of this poor little kitty. I left the room and next thing I know he's gone to go get her and hold her a bit. At the moment she's asleep on his chest as he sleeps in his chair.

She's the cutest little calico - but she's an odd color. Like an orange and white cat that rolled around in chimney soot... with white feet.

She's just barely old enough to be away from Mama if not a few days shy. They said she was eating food though and she ate and drank.

So here's the deal. There's an abundance of tiny kitties around here. Would you like one? I'm hoping the neighbor gets her cat spayed and finds a home for all of them or we're going to have a bunch of feral cats before long with the way they treat their animals. My husband would really rather not have another cat - but can't bear to see the cat go back over there with the dog.

OR

I need a name for this little kitteh.
