A
few days after Hurricane Isaac this summer I went with a few relatives
to help clean up a friend's yard in the New Orleans suburb of Terrytown,
Louisiana. On walking to one side of his house I saw a little orange ball
that I quickly assumed was a dead kitten, another casualty of Isaac. When
I bent over the little body, however, eyes suddenly opened and feet
started moving. I quick snatch, and I had a very frightened kitten in my hand.
We asked a neighbor but she knew nothing about the kitten but said that
she had rescued an almost identical kitten during the storm. She further
said that she was keeping it her bath tub for safe keeping but that as
soon as traffic could flow again she would "take it to animal control and
they can put in down". Enough said, we came away with two kittens.
So Mystic (full name Alma Mystic) and Mittens have a new home, compliments
of Isaac. A quick trip to the vet and they were given some treatment for
fleas and parasites, but otherwise proclaimed in good health. Mystic had a
slight eye problem that cleared up after only two days. They both took to
their new home with typical kitten gusto and play without fear with their
new human friends. Mittens is the bolder one while Mystic holds back a
little until she is comfortable.
After two and a half months they are super active young cats and enjoy
nothing more that exploring and play wrestling with each other and with
us. As you can see, either a piece of red string or a red laser light can
be tons of fun and endless amusement, until they are so tuckered out we
put it away, as we wouldn't want anyone to ingest the string, and we know
how mischievous kittens can be! We sure love them both!
