Hi everyone. I wasn't going to write my first entry until I got to Houston, but something newsworthy has happened. Yesterday I spent four hours trying to coax a tabby out of the hedge outside my apartment. She swindled me out of a whole package of tuna, but she wouldn't let me catch her! This morning I went to the tractor supply in Knightdale and got a humane squirrel trap. Bated with another pack of tuna and set under the hedge, the kitten was caught in about 20 minutes. She's very skinny, the poor thing, and she's got fleas and perhaps an eye infection. She's also very affectionate, cute, and has good house manners! She and I are going to see the vet tomorrow, to see what we can do to fix her up. My adult cat, Titan, doesn't seem to care for her. I'm keeping them apart, in case she's sick, anyway. We decided to call her Cory (short for Albacore). If Titan doesn't come around by the end of the week, we'll find a more hospitable home for her. If he does play nice, we are going to keep her; she's a complete treasure!
