Wink LOOK what I found in the back of my truck...

Well, You have to wait until tomorrow (Wed.) to LOOK but it is a kitten!! MAYBE 2 days old!! it still has it's umbilical stump and everything. In fact, it looked like it had some fresh blood on it when I first found it and now it is just a black speck like it should be.

I have NO idea where it came from. I got home from gymnastics and heard this noise in the truck (the truck was at home in the driveway all day) and there it was, under one of our signs. it is SOOOOOOOO tiny and fragile. It is solid white, pink nose and feet. eyes are shut, ears aren't even open all the way.

I have done this before, taken in newborn kittens and nursed them until they were big enough to be "pets" and ended up keeping them. they were GREAT cats!! but I have 3 dogs. how in the world am I going to do this? Hubby is not a cat person either. so I really don't think he will be letting us keep this one.

Anyone want a kitten??

I am going into the vet in the morning to see what they think I should do.

he/she is eating really well. I got some kitten formula and a bottle and the little monster is just gobbling it up!! it's funny to sit and watch it's little belly grow and grow.

and then I get the oh so fun job of wiping it's tinkler to make it go potty. and the tush to make it go pooooo. yuck. one wrong move and the thing gets stimulated and then you are wearing it all over you LOL

surprisingly, our 11 year old min pin has really taken to the kitten. I have never seen this side of him. He is super protective over her, cleans her all the time (yes, I am calling it a "her" because it's easy LOL)

i'm just shocked at how Rex is acting. He is really nurturing the kitten. I think if he had the equipment, he would be feeding her too LOL

I will take a pic first thing in the morning. the little tike is really ADORABLE!!!!!!!!!
