We came home today to find a kitten lounging under our front porch! It was clearly lost and all alone. I brought out a dish of water (it reached 100 degrees F today!) and tried to coax it to come out and drink but it was pretty unsure of me. After a while it ventured out, stuck its paw in the water, shook the water off, and ran back under the porch. Ryan came out and for a long time we tried to feed it some turkey, but that was just as successful as the water.
Just when the kitten was warming up to us, we heard a loud meow from the sidewalk – the kitten’s mother! She came right over and found her baby, and proceeded to eat the turkey we had laid out for the kitten. The two of them hung out in our front yard the rest of the evening.
