Kathryn is our nature lover. All things furry are her friends. Mom has a number of porch kitties and one of last years batch is wild. However, she decided that moms porch was the best place to have her kitten....and leave it. After waiting 24 hours for her to return, Kathryn and mom decided she had abandoned it. They fixed up a batch of kitten formula, put it in a bottle and worked to save the life of the kitten.
So far, so good. BUT.....Kathryn has had a huge dose of what it is to be a mother of a newborn. And it isn't easy! The kitten sleeps in a box beside her bed and as all newborns will do, it doesn't sleep for long before it is demanding yet another feeding. This morning, after being woke up at 2, 3 and 4am, she informed me that she really likes this kitten best when it was sound asleep. I told her that was when I liked her best at this age too! She wondered why it was so hard for the kitten to settle down. I told her it is a baby and doesn't know what it wants. Sorta like she was as a baby.
Kathryn was a tough baby. I think it was at least 7 months before she slept nights. Perhaps a bit of payback in the form of a small grey kitten??
