kitten

i saw a tiny little itty bitty scrawny black kitty sitting on the stoop in front of the old blacksmith shop, when i came home this evening
i walked over to it, and it promptly ran underneath the building
i went inside, left kc out the door
got a scoop of feed and went back out

course by this time, kc had found the baby kitty
and was stalking it
the kitten would turn and hiss at kc
and i yelled at kc, let it alone
then called him over, picked him up, and took him inside

when i came back out, the kitty was checking out the food
and when it saw me come, it ran
so i sat there and talked to it, and it came on over
i was abt 18-24 inches from the food
and after bit, it got brave enough to come eat
and then, it came a bit closer to my hand
and when it heard kc meow thru the screen door
it meowed so pitifully too, and then jumped past me, and ran down the side of the blacksmith shop
so, i guess i'll be stopping at walmart to get kitten chow
and i guess i'll be feeding it
and i guess in a day or so, i'll have a new cat

and miss neighbor girl and her gram came around
and miss nbg wants to name the cat for me
i told her, if she comes up with a name i like, i'll name it that
miss nbg's gram says that miss nbg's dad said he saw it when he was mowing my yard 2 or 3 days ago
that it was up by their feeders in the woods earlier
so apparently its been hanging around
(so another day or so outside wont hurt it any)

and as i was sitting there
attempting to make up with this kitten
i was thinking
kc chose me
yes, i picked him and brought him home
but kc made the choice that first night to purr and to come up to my bedroom to find me, after i had gone to bed, (i was gonna let him downstairs, he wasnt gonna be a sleep on my bed, cat)
and now, i'm making the initiative to bond with something
kc has been really good for me

just not sure what kc's reaction will be to another cat in his house
