The rough descent of the fairy queen
| Mon, 06-21-2004 - 1:57pm |
Saturday I witnessed something moving being flung out of a pickup truck window some distance ahead of me, and I pulled over to investigate what it was. Much to my dismay, there was a sweet mewing coming from the side of the road, and I found a tiny little kitten. We guess that she's no more than seven or eight weeks old. Besides being appalled at the manner in which she arrived in our lives, she is very.... cute (unfortunately for us, we're suckers!!). Anyway, kitty seems no worse for the wear, and an emergency call to the vet ruled out any major concerns.
Having "flown" here near Summer Solstice, and looking very much like the fairy queen (we thought), we considered the name "Titania" from Midsummer Night's Dream. We may still use "Titiania" for her majesty at formal functions, but we thought the shorter "Tanya" would suffice for now. (Tanya is Russian for Fairy Queen). Our other cats Ginger and Magic have decided she is their kitten (how nice of us to consider adoption, since they could have none of their own... being appropriately fixed!). They've both been grooming Tanya nonstop, and since Magic often gets tired of younger Ginger's antics, he's been glad to have a break from her. Ginger and Tanya have been having a ball.

We have been keeping her this weekend as sort of a "trial," as we hadn't anticipated expanding our kitty family any further anytime soon.... but we're finding we're getting rather attached to this cute little one. As I'm typing this she's curled up, purring in my lap. Sweet little brown tabby baby.

First of all, #%$^&%$#%$ to those SOBs who would toss a poor, defenceless little kitten out of a window like that!!!!! I'm so angry I can barely type. I hate people like these. They literally make my blood boil. I'm going to stop here before I go any further and say something that will get my post deleted. :(
Next, thank GOD she was okay! That is truly a miracle that she could survive that without even a minor injury. She really is an angel and you were meant to take her home to your Ginger and Magic. That is so sweet that they have "adopted" her so quickly! And bless you for taking her home!!!

Little Tanya sounds adorable & I'm glad she's being welcomed so eagerly by Ginger & Magic!
Keep us posted on her & I look forward to seeing photos of her, too!

Amy, I do hope you decide to keep Tanya... you have named her beautifuly.
Bless your heart for stopping to pick up Tanya.
Anyway, the longer Tanya has been here, the more it seems that she has claimed her home as being right here. She's a sweet little thing, and Dave (my husband) says he can tell I'm attached to her. (This from the man making koochie-koochie sounds while rubbing her little tummy). I'm taking her in to the vet tomorrow, and getting her a city license too, so I guess we're making it official. The fairy queen has landed. Hopefully for the last time. :-)
And I've uploaded some pictures of the kitties:

Oh yeah, what comes around goes around.
Your kitties are so sweet! They must know the little gal needed some extra special loving - and you can tell from the lovely photo of them all together. How SWEET!!!
Animals are forever - and so is their love.
All your cats are beautiful!
