Mouse?

            Mouse may not be a good name for a cat, but is it good for a Kitten?

 

               As I told you yesterday we captured a kitten that had been terrorizing the back yard for several weeks. Last night Donna decided to see if this Feral Cat was tame enough to handle.

               Donna ventured into the garage where the trapped feral kitten was captured. The rest of the family was safely inside the house. After about five minutes of suspense the door to the garage slowly opened. There were no scratch marks on Donna’s face, she seemed to be ok and then we saw it this kitten was peacefully laying in Donna’s arms.

               The kitten was happy to be safely in the hands of Grandma then Claire.

After a while I started wondering where the little terrorist kitten was. I walked in to the front bed room and heard these words, “he was dumped on me”. See photo below;

It looks as if he was dumped on Dave, and it also looks as if Dave doesn’t want the kitten in the room with him.

It is said that the kitten asked where the mouse was, (that is a computer joke). I do not like explaining when there is a joke but as I understand it there are some who read these articles that don’t have a sense of humor.

Here is a close up of the aforementioned feline.

               I explained to Tejas (my constant companion) that this kitten looked a lot like our old cat whose name was Harley.

Tejas noted that this feline will be problems for the Ford Homestead. I asked, why he thought that. 

Tejas explained that he had run a background check on the kitten and although he had not been incarcerated at the local pound, he is an obvious run away. Tejas thought that this kitten could be a bad influence on the grand kids. 

Tejas also reminded that we are on a fixed income and this kitten would be an additional burden on our budget with vet bills, kitty litter, cat toys and cat food. 

Tejas noted that we would need to alter our schedules to allow time to pet and or play with the kitten.  I explained to Tejas that we would take all his comments into consideration. (Tejas may be a little jealous)

Back to the original thought which is, “naming the kitten”.

I don’t know if, “Mouse” would be a good name for the feline so I have devised a system to name the new cat.  If you want to suggest a name for this new member to The Ford Homestead, send a $25.00 donation to “The Ford Homestead Foundation, Humane Department” along with your suggested name and it will be entered in the, “Name the Kitten Contest”.  I will announce the new kitten’s name in the future.
