I hardened my heart: the kitten is NOT coming into the house. We unloaded the car, closed the door to kitchen. Tiny meows ensued. Grew louder. Heart breaking, we picked up the little gal and canvased the neighborhood but no dice. No one knew anything about this lost kitty. A trip to the vet for a check up and we suddenly had adopted a third kitty: Leica-Foo. Today she's probably wondering if she made a good choice. We had no doggies at that time. Now we have a pair of cockapoos and Leica-Foo, who is traumatically afraid of dogs, large or small, endures their presence. She more haunts our house than lives in it. But she's a deft hunter catching roof-rats, squirrels and (to our great sorrow) hummingbirds. She's a lap cat only when one of us is sitting at our work stations - she then comes and rests between our elbows, purring and needing affection. Well, what's not give!
