Kitty Hospice

We have two family cats, Peace and Shorty. They are spayed and neutered. We also feed a wild cat we call Skeeter. Last week, after everyone else had gone to bed, I heard some noise on our patio and looked out to see Skeeter drop a tiny kitten. Our patio is above the walk-out basement and Skeeter had to walk up a spiral staircase to get there. We really didn’t know what think. We wondered if she was kicking this kitty out of the litter or maybe this was the first of several she would bring to the patio. The kitty wasn’t very old; still had its eyes closed. Since Skeeter didn’t want anything to do with the kitty, we got some kitty formula and a bottle from the vet and did our best to take care of kitty.

The next evening Skeeter returned to the patio, but still didn’t have anything to do with kitty.
We enjoyed spending a few days with kitty, but she didn’t pull though. Now I’m guessing Skeeter knew she wouldn’t make it. Hopefully we made her last few days a bit more pleasant. We kept her warm and she purred when we held her.
