.....Oh I forget how many it is now Rolling Eyes

I was driving back from one of the Checkpoints to the Office at around 11-00 last night down the main road when I saw a car slow down in front of me open the door, then drive on again and then as if by magic there was a kitten in the middle of the road.

I swerved to avoid it and drove into a very small ditch but wasn't sure if I'd hit it or not - so I went back to see. Fortunately it was cowering in the same small ditch I'd ended up in about 50 yards away. It's a tiny ginger and white cat - small enough to fit in my hand. Well what could I do but bring it home - I think he's about 4/5 weeks old. I hand fed him last night with cat milk and commandeered the downstairs loo as a "kitten room", this morning he's had tuna flakes and seems quite happy Very Happy

Hope you didn't do too much damage to your car when you drove into the ditch Shocked

Well done Andy. It is a bit young to be away from its mother and good sociable cats need to be with their mother for the required 6 weeks. Is your cast having anything to do with it cos if it is, I'd hang on to the kitten for another couple of weeks so at least it has a surrogate parent to teach it how to behave.

Awwww Andy, he's so teeny tiny Shocked

I just can't understand how people can abandon animals and even less when it's such a baby Evil or Very Mad

Thank goodness you were there. Hope the car's in one piece Shocked

No Ady - the vet said for us to keep them seperate - to protect both from possible infections.

He's gone to his new home, they had him down to the vet this afternoon to be checked out and he is now called Troy Laughing

I'm glad you were there at the right time Andy Cool

Nice ending Very Happy

But Imp was right, they do need a mother/other cat to learn how to be a cat , ideal time is...13 weeks Shocked

But hey

That one was very lucky Very Happy

And yours might never have accepted him anyway ...

Danu is up the duff again - really must get round to having her seen too. I am sure she is the street bike and has a sign on the roof saying "Get it here". Deb has said that if she pops a Ginger, we are keeping it. The others we are going to dump in the middle of the road....NOT!!!!!
