the kitty kat is still hanging outside crying right now. i just made a box (with a cutout door) and towels. gave it food (kibbles and bits dog food) and water.... still crying... it tried to get in the door... crying... then i reached down and pet her/him and it purred and then licked my toes... dang thing is breaking my heart.
so i had a heart to heart with it, pleading with it to get a good night's sleep and we'd figure something out in the morning... then i shut the lights off and walked 5 feet and meooooooooooooooooow meeeeeeeeeeeeoooooooooow meeeeeooooooooOOOOOOOOWW!
it's past midnight here... i live in a condo. neighbours are on top of each other...
i ran back.... "shhhhhhhhhhhhhh" and had to talk to it again... it started trying to climb the screen door... climbed it to my face level (i was kneeling) and then gave a big "MEOW! I SAID MEOW!"
so i was like "please.... please... kitten little... stop... get a good night's rest and tomorrow will be better"
"MEOW NO!"
"oh come on... please... what do you want me to do? i can't let you in, you see Beri here shaking like she wants a piece of you - even though she's never dealt with cats - and you probably need a flea and tick dip... and a bath... even though when i pet you, you weren't very grungy...get some sleep"
"mrrrrrrrreeeow! please! let me in! i'll love you forever! MEOW! MEEEEOW!"
"hold on a second. i'll be right back"
[run to fridge, find condensed milk, open can, pour into bowl]
"meeeeeeow!"
"hold on a second, let me out of the door... let me out... i can't ge--- wait! stop back up you can't come in, get your paws out of the doorway..."
[do y'all know how hard it is to carry a bowl of condensed milk through a screen door when you are trying to keep a yorkie inside and a random cat outside?? it's hard. that's why a good deal of condensed milk spilled.]
"here... try this. fill your belly and go in the box and get some rest"
"meooow... thanks..." [licking my feet again]
"okay, you're killing me, you know... i have to go to bed"
"meeeeoooooooow..." [roll on ground looking up with pleading eyes]
"go on, go drink your milk"
"meeeow okay okay"
[scuttle back into house without incident, turn lights off, walk 3 step up the stairs]
"MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEOW MEEEEEEEEEOW MEEEEEEEEEEEEOW MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOW!"
"stop."
[allergies kick in. eyes itching. nose sniffling and sneezing. heart breaking]
quiet.
