Someone dropped out a kitten near where Amanda lives. It darted into her yard while she and Joshua were outside. Joshua went to get it, and it ran away from him and under his truck. It then crawled into a spot in his truck he could not get to, so he spent nearly two hours trying to lure it out so he could go home. Joshua finally figured it had made its way out and run off while he had been in the house.
He drove home; and as soon as he got out, he heard the meowing begin again. He tried to lure it out with tuna, but the kitten was too afraid. At my suggestion, Joshua used a board to adapt our racoon trap for a lightweight kitten and baited it with tuna. He was ecstatic when he caught it overnight.
Now, we have this dark as midnight kitten on our farm. It's warming up to us and gaining weight on its pitifully skinny frame. Our old lady cat continues to decline, and the new additions are helping distract my children from that fact. God is so very good to us.
