AWWWWHWHEHEHEH I LOVE HIM SOOSOSOSOOS MUCHHHH anyhoo so recently my cousins got a kitten and so I’ve been absolutely CRAVING to have another cat, and I kept on ranting to my mom about how ‘I want a stray kitten to show up in our yard so I can keep it’ because my dad would never give into getting another cat- (he doesn’t like pets especially cats because when TOby was a kitten he scratched up our very expensive couch…and he doesn’t like fur) but anyways I’ve just been praying and hoping I could get a kitty OwO then maybe a couple weeks after my cousins got their kitty my mom called me after school and said she found a little kitten laying on some rocks in our front yard, but when she went to go grab it the kitten ran away. The next day my little brother and sister came running in my room saying the kitten is outside again, so I grabbed my shoes and went to look for it. It was hiding behind a bush in my front yard, and I was able to sneak behind it, but it still ran away. I didn’t want to loose it so I darted after it, and luckily I saw him dart into my backyard and to my patio, then seeing his tiny tail disappear under my dads barbecue grill. He was in the car corner because the barbecue grill is next to like a wall, so I asked my little sister to come help me and distract him while I went to grab him from behind. I’m afraid he might have something wrong with his hearing because he didn’t notice me behind him, but it might of just been because he was really scared. Anyhoo, I grabbed him up and he was so horrified he was shaking the poor thing :( but I securely had him in my arms so he couldn’t escape or scratch me, and soon he started to get relaxed and started purring and cuddling me :) anyhoo we named him Artie!!
