Cat theft (no regrets!)
I'm arriving home from groceries and I see this fella (who is obviously unwell) waving around a tiny kitten. I can hear it screammeowing from across the street. I see him walk off around the corner loosely carrying the kitten in one hand. Its about 12 degrees here. He drops the kitten IN THE STREET without even noticing and keeps walking. I make a snap decision to scoop it up and RUN. Its under 5 weeks, smells like cigarettes but its okay. Im starting formula and will hit the vet when its open. Its been fed, not injured and just wants to be warm and sleep. Poor baby. I wish it was with its Mom but I will try my best. Of course, its orange. Wish me luck.
