Tiny Dumped Kitten

[0nline]

The downside of rural Italian life.

Another sod decides the local English soft touch is the place to dump an unwanted kitten. I went to the loo and heard screaming from the back garden. It's far too small to have climbed over itself. At least this time it isn't in a plastic bag.

(former) Tiny Dumped Kittens 1-8 have been living with me for between 13-5 years. I cannot do 9 cats. I am already enough of a cat slave.

My vet (also my mate), has already messaged me saying I can put up a poster in her studio. Again. But my past posters did not work. Anybody good at heartstrings tugging text and design that can help me create a poster that will maximise my chances of finding this tiny scrap a good home ?

Our one local cat charity is permemntly packed to the rafters and in the past they have been determinedly guilt tripping when I have taken them dumpees. Like I am the meanest person ever if I don't want to be utterly overrun by cats. So that is a non starter. If I go there I'll come away convinced I deserve to go to hell if I don't keep it.

I need a shit hot "good home wanted" poster.

And for tiny kitten to stop looking at me with big, mournful eyes. With added little fluffy tail.

And for DS to stop trying to name it. Doesn't even look like an Emma. Might not even be a girl.

NotEmma has at least escaped the "drowned in a bucket" fate of so many tiny unwanted kittens here. Can anybody help me capitalise on her "less than averagely awful" luck and maximise her/his chances of being somebody's spoiled moggy for 20 contended, spoiled rotten years ?

I will go and try and take a picture to help the creative juices flow. But NotEmma is quite scared and is under the duvet, curled into DSS's armpit. And my iPad does not have a flash.

I'll buy you the ticket.

I'm shattered. As often happens the anti worming meds have caused the runs. Ow fuck claw in ear bugger. So I am escorting Trevor to the water regularly and finger waggling to encourage hydration. Your paw does not belong up my nose. Stoppit. We are also experiencing sleepiness, which means constant serviellence to avoid any morerolling off of ill chosen snooze spots. My hair is crap enough without you chewing it to shreds. This snoozing is followed by waking up and going hell for leather to make some serious attempts to climb Big Things. Occasionally involving rescue. Often incurring gentle tellings off and (mostly ignored) redirection. Leave the plastic alone. It's like having the world's smallest toddler run riot. And I am OLD. And KNACKERED. and .. I do not want your rather smelly bum hovering near my nose while you try and read what zi am writing about you on mumsnet get off my fingers nothelpj f

My cat prefers to drinks water off things rather than an open bowl. He now has a water fountain..

[Want2beme]

I heard you got a new cat!

[sashh]

Trevetta needs her own blog.

[HebeJeebie]

I love that water fountain, Oldraver! Wonder if my cat would use one? She drinks very little water but vet said she will be getting plenty via her wet food.

[Radishal]

There must be a cat rescue community in Italy that can help more generally. I also second the idea of your vet doing a free neuter drive- maybe do some crowdfunding for it. Get your ds into it.
You know the kitten is staying, right?

[Oldraver]

Hebe..yes, cats mostly do get their water from food though Ernie is on dried. He does like to drink, so the fountain was a good buy. His face when OH turned it off accidentally was a picture. He also seems to of commandeered the outside water feature

NotEmma is SUPER cute! I'm with the open your own sancutary ;-) set up crowdfunding or something to help with vets bills/cat food and litter. I'd donate

[HebeJeebie]

Ha ha, I might order one for my girl!

[FetchezLaVache]

Missing point entirely, but I love how you write, 0nline.

[Toddlerteaplease]

I think you should revert to NotEmma. It's a brilliant cat name!

[Toddlerteaplease]

I'm also with Heman, I'd totally pay money to come and play with your cats. Perhaps you could set up a cat holidays B&B.

[Unicornsandrainbows3]

Yep, she was always a keeper! I must admit though I still prefer the name NotEmma above all else.

How's Trevorina NotEmma doing?
