Foster Pet

Here's a story. This is Cat. Cat was found by Sport-O's studio meowing like crazy right at our door. It must've been hungry and lost. Sport-O saw it the other day on the neighboring property, but thought it may have been an outdoor cat that wandered the neighborhood. We realized that this little kitten meowing at us last night was declawed and probably snipped- and as we found out- is litter trained. So someone cared about this cat- which probably escaped from its warm and loving house. This was no outdoor cat. It was so lovable. Hearts were melted.

Sport-o and Sport-a couldn't just leave the little thing to be hit by a car on a busy street or to be eaten by a bigger animal. With no claws it had no defense. It didn't have fleas or anything wrong with it so the Sports snatched it up and took it home. Fliers are being made and they'll be put on telephone poles. Time will tell.

The Sports are leary about handing Cat over to the Humane Society. They're hoping someone will claim Cat before it comes to that. The Humane Society does not euthanize, which makes Sport-a feel a little better. But the Sports have mixed feelings about Cat. What do you do with it? What if no one claims it? And....

So what about the guinea pig?! This may be an issue. Right now, Cat is afraid of Frodo, which is good. If Cat stays away, then the Sports won't find Frodo's half-eaten body when they come home. Frodo's room door is closed for now. Frodo is the pet. Cat is the foster pet. "They are labeled #1 Shit and #2 Shit," Sport-a said. "We can't name Cat because that would create an attachment to it," Sport-a also said. But Azriel has been spoken (Gargamel's cat from The Smurfs). So has numerous Lord of the Rings character names... you know- to go with "Frodo." Sauron? Saruman? Eowyn? Arwen? Galadriel?

But Cat is just Cat. And we need to find Cat's real home.
