A Tiny Little Waif of a Kitten

External Since: Aug 10, 2003 Posts: 1

The other night on her way home my wife saw a little kitten on the side of
the road. She turned around and went back and got the kitten and brought her
home. The kitten is affraid of everything and is all skin and bones. She is
affraid of everybody but will lay on my stomach and pur up a storm. My wife
and I have been feeding her kitten food and keeping a small dish full of
water and dry kitten food for her.

She is acting alot better than she did when my wife first brought her home.
I try and work with her as far as showing her attention and showing her that
we care about her but she still seems timied. Am I on the right track with
the way that I am working with her?

Does anybody have any suggestions on how I should continue. We keep her is a
large pet carrier at night so that if one of us gets up in the middle of the
night we don't step on her but during the day she spends a lot of time
hiding and does not want to come out. Once I am able to hold her she is
fine.

Could somebody please help me this is my first experience with a wild
kitten.

Sounds like your tummy is the answer. She probably likes the sound of
your heart as it reminds her of her mother. So keep her favorite spot
handy and you will on have a devoted friend. Good luck! MLB
