I seem to be attracting small creatures lately. It started with me finding a baby opossum in the garage. I'd had some odd things happening, but it never occured to me that it might be an animal. Then, one night, late, I saw a tail and a little body. My first reaction was to jump and scream, thinking it was a rat or something. Then, I moved closer and saw it - looking as cute as a kitten - itty bitty with big, brown ears. But, what to do? I was at a loss. I knew I needed to get it out of my garage, but I wasn't going to hurt it. It took me a couple of days, a lot of cleaning, and a little trickery, but finally I peeked out and saw a little tail just on the other side of the garage door ... and before he could turn back, down went the door!
Then, I went home for my cousin/godchild's high school graduation. While there, my sister's friend dropped off their latest rescue - a little kitten they had found on the road in some random Texas city. When they were trying to pick up the poor thing, a car ran over it. Thankfully, I mean literally over it. It escaped unharmed. Anyway, it's probably not more than a month old, and while not traditionally "cute," it has the best and friendliest personality. She even climbed up on my shoulder when I was trying to take her picture. She wants lots and lots of human attention and loves to purr and play. You can't tell from this picture, but her eyes are bright blue. I suggested her name be Mocha.

Mocha, chocolate, Chewbacca from Star Wars..The best I can say is the little fella looks like that Mexican wolf boy with the hair on his face.
Aw! That's not very nice! Poor, little, sweet kitty.
:(
Yes, it's a nice kitty cat. The wolf boy is a really nice guy too, saw him on TV recently.
That sorta reminds me of how we got our third cat, Sunshine, a/k/a "Shiny." Somebody at my wife, She Who Must Be Obeyed's (SWMBO's) office found a box of kittens on the side of the road, and had the good sense to make color pics and plaster them on every unoccupied space in the company offices. . .
Anyway, SWMBO brings a poster home, and Heir and I are both dead-set against a third cat -- didn't want to upset the other two. SWMBO shows Heir the picture, and he promptly points at the pic of Shiny and says he wants "that one." The rest is history. All of the other kittens were adopted also.
My mom is trying to get me to adopt this one, too. So far, I've resisted.
