Hello Kitty!

This little kitten wondered into our yard one afternoon. How would you handle that? A small little kitten smelling your flowers? I thought, "release the hounds!" Ah!, but the hounds may be too slow. The barking probably would have scared off the kitty, but would it learn its lesson? Simple barking may not be enough to keep it away. So I decided to not release the hounds, I opted instead to RELEASE THE GIRL! For sure, this would cause the kitty much more trauma.

The girl pushed through the storm door, raced down the porch steps, and screamed, "Hello Kitty!" This little kitten perked up quick. Smelling flowers would have to wait for another day, another yard. Just as the cat turned to leave the property, two little hands got their grip on kitty hair. Swooped up a few feet in the air, this cat has now realized its error. This house belongs to a little girl.

Meredith kept this cat in her clutches for a few more minutes. Maybe the two would become friends. At her mothers request, the cat was released back to the ground. This baby kitty hardly had touched the ground, when it took off to the neighbors yard.

I have not seen this cat since the day of this picture.
