The wrong cat adopted a kitten
I feel so guilty. Today, just a few hours ago. I went outside and found a little orange kitten around the back of the house. I looked around and set him down with some older mama cats. When one of them started licking and feeding him, I thought “That must be the mother, she’s taking care of him” but no! She wasn’t his mother. I realized this later on when a different black kitten showed up in the same spot. The mother was in the middle of moving the kittens, and I accidentally GAVE AWAY her child to a different cat. I had found a bucket and an old blanket for the actual mother to keep her kitten in and left it alone for a few hours. I just checked on them to find 2 more kittens in there. No orange kitten in sight. I gave a cat’s kitten away to the only litter of kittens that I didn’t know the placement of. Now I’m over here feeling guilty because of a cat willing to adopt a kitten way too easily.
I know this is a weird thing to write about, but I want to remember this in the future.
