Kentucky Kitty 2010

When in Kentucky this past summer we helped a lady out by building a few handicapped ramps for her. She was to have surgery on her ankle and needed to keep all weight off of it for a few weeks and would end up using a wheel chair. She was very friendly and had a passion for stray animals. She had 2 ducks, a whole bunch of chickens (and a rooster) at least 2 dogs and who knows how many cats. In the week we worked there she actually took in another kitty. The cat here in the photo was only a few weeks old and wasn't afraid of anything. She (I'm assuming a she) would stand under the miter saw while we were cutting boards. Wasn't afraid to walk around us while hammers were swinging and 2 x 4's were flying all over the place. Any way she was only about 8 inches long and really a cute kitty. Nearly every one who worked on this project wanted to take her home. One of the young ladies decided to buy a bag of cat food and bring it out to the site. Unfortunately she placed the food right where we were to be working. You know how hard it is to dig a hole with a cat looking into it? The sad thing about the animals of this area is that they all end up with fleas and tics and other ailments almost at birth. You can see that she already has goobers coming out of her eye. This is the nice thing about a photograph of a cat. No mess to clean up, or food to buy, but with all the benefits of looking at a pretty kitty.
