Apologies for being somewhat elusive - owing to having been on holiday for the past 10 days at the cottage in Cambridgeshire.
We came back last night with rather more than we bargained for!
We went out into the garden where there is a bit of wasteground at the back which we have not developed yet. It has double gates, leading to a supermarket carpark, which have quite a large gap underneath. Hubby pointed to something in the wasteground and said *look at that*! I said *oh it looks like a dead cat* to which he replied *yes but it's breathing*. This was on Saturday lunchtime! A closer look showed that it was a tiny scrap of a kitten which was pretty much too weak to move. We are assuming it had been dumped as it was too young to be out. We eventually managed to pick it up, after a lot of hissing and teeth-bearing and the rest is history! A quick visit to the pet shop to grab some kitten milk and food, and one ravenous kitten was somewhat pacified and quickly decided that it had got lucky! Having asked around the neighbours and local pet shop as to whether they knew of an owner, and drawn a blank, the lucky moggy has now been adopted. The logistics of getting it home have been interesting and involved various visits to pet shops and supermarkets to stock up on basics! 150 miles later (via a trip to Bury St Edmunds to visit my elderly Mum) and *Misha* has a new home and a new name! We are still uncertain as to the age and sex of it (that will be determined tomorrow at the Vets) so the name might well change but the home won't!
I can feel a scrapbook page coming on!!!
Love Mandi
