NakedOnMyChain -> Kitten (12/5/2005 11:24:24 PM)

Apparently I have a kitten now. It's two fifteen in the morning here and I was wrapping packages (since my family is having our holiday celebration early). All of a sudden I hear this ungodly mewling from outside the living room door. I open it to find this precious kitten (roughly three months old) crying right outside. She looks exactly like my first cat did at that age. She's an adorable, obviously hungry, grey striped little thing. I gave her a saucer of milk, and now she's following me around like I'm her savior. I'd love to keep her, but here's the catch: She has a collar, and I live in an apartment complex. She could be anyone's. The neighbor's Rott puppy, Drama, always gets out and I take him in for a while. The same way with the other neighbor's tabby cat. (Also, the landlady's Chihuahua gets out every single day... for hours at a time). I love animals dearly. I just wish my neighbors would take better care of their pets. We're not supposed to have pets, but if they go to all that trouble, why not take good care of them? It's freezing outside. The poor dear was shivering mercilessly. So many of them let their animals out and pay no attention whether they come back in or not.
Anyway, I know she's not mine, but she might as well be. If it goes anything like the rest of my neighbors' pets she'll be over here every night. She really is a sweet little thing. I'm going to do what I do with the rest of the animals, I suppose. I'll keep her overnight and let her go home in the morning, when it's warmer. If she comes back several nights in a row I'll figure out who she belongs to and recommend they keep her inside. If they don't keep her in after several little chats and she comes back I'll keep her. I think that's fair.
P.S.- I really wish both sets of the upstairs neighbors would quit throwing their trash in my yard. It's really starting to piss me off. I have to keep a special trashcan on the porch to pick up after them. One time they even threw rotten chicken off their balcony. I've had just about enough of this place. No one picks up after themselves and they all act like they're in junior high. Someone is constantly calling the cops and screaming at the top of their lungs. It's like a fucking episode of Jerry Springer. (Sorry all. Thanks for letting me vent.)
