This morning, my old vet called me telling me about a client that had brought in a kitten to be euthanized for “being naughty!” By the telling of the story, it turned out the client was recently homeless and living in a truck camper with his mom. The kitten (bored out of his skull) had torn up pillows, chewed electrical cords and also chewed the tubing for his mom’s oxygen tank. My old vet convinced him to instead release the kitten to me and so we have a new kitty here. He reminds a lot of a Siamese we had here a few years ago, so in honor of that- I have named the new kitten Foggy.
He is not “naughty” he is scared and unsure of himself and right now has taken up residence in the bedroom with another kitty. I keep finding him hiding in my luggage that is stacked on the floor of the closet- but when I put my hands on him, he loves to be petted and hopefully in a few days time, he will find a new loving home where he has room to run around in and just be a kitten.
Here we are learning to get along with each other:
I can understand the man not wanting his mom suffocated but he could have simply tried to find another home for Fog; he needn’t have tried to kill him. In any case, it will work out for Fog now.
Poor little guy – I bet he is both frightened and confused. Once he figures out he has landed somewhere safe, he’ll be back to being a fun, rambunctious kitten! If people don’t have the time and energy to cope with a kitten or young adult cat’s mischievousness, they shouldn’t have them.
Thank God he’s with sane people now.
poor little guy was just bored no room to run and play his kitten games, He will open up when he knows he is safe and can run and play. A little love will go a long way for him
we are glad the vet took a stand and Foggy got a second chance….
