Kitten!!

So I'm sitting there, a little over 2 hours ago, in a chair, in our driveway, during our garage sale, reading Twilight; when I kept hearing these "Meow" sounds. I couldn't decide if it was a bird or a cat. But I kept hearing it and it sounded more and more like a cat that was hurt or lost. Sadly, I put Twilight down, and then happily, walked down my driveway. The "meows" got closer and louder and I realized they were coming from the woods of our neighbor (I'll say Mrs. H). I walked up tp their fence and the meows were really close but i couldn't see the cat.

I called Adam who was holding Jesse so she wouldn't follow and he came down. I went back up to the house and asked mom to call Mrs. H and ask if we could go in her woods to look for the cat. She said yes, so I ran back down to the fence where Adam was at and we climbed through and walked into the woods. The meowing continued and I didn't have to walk far before I saw a little gray figure dart through the weeds away from me. I realized it was a little gray kitten and I chased after it. That little kitten was fast and could easily run through the little poison-ivy-like weeds, but I had to go around trees and bush-like things and I couldn't keep up.

Eventually I lost it and so I stopped and then me and Adam heard more meowing. We walked quietly in the direction of the sounds and then saw some gray in the weeds (the poison-ivy-like weeds were taller than the kitten! We slowly walked up to the cat, but it darted off and Adam started chasing it, and he grabbed it but it got away then he grabbed it again and that time he caught it :) But it bit him, lol. And he almost dropped her.

We took her back up to the house, and showed Luke (who didn't care), and mom (dad was still sleeping). We took the kitten to my room and put her in the window seal. She was scared so she hid behind some pillows. I got our cat food out from the time I saw a cat in the barn, we wanted a barn cat so mom bought cat food but it didn't stay... anyways, we got a small bowl and put some cat food in it, which the kitten started eating immeadietly. While she was eating, me and Adam were trying to come up with a good name for her. After a few minutes, I came up with the name Maddie. We both liked it, so that is her name!

Maddie is probably about 2 months old, actually probably a month and a half.. but I really don't know. I don't know where she came from, but she must've had a home because she is really tame and knows how to go up and down the stairs. She purrs a LOT and absolutely LOVES to climb on to my shoulders and snuggle up with my hair. It's so cute! Oh, and she meows a lot too :P When I put her in my room, she gets scared and hides in my closet behind my laundry basket :P

Mom said we can probably keep her and keep her in the house until she gets used to us so she won't run away, and so we know that Jesse won't eat her. When my dad woke up, the first thing he said was "we need to find her owners" and I was like "NO! I'm keeping her XD" I'm evil, but I love Maddie already!! Dad isn't sure if we will keep her or not, but I am sure of it :D But if it doesn't work out, Zoe said she'll gladly take her. She came over to see Maddie, and she likes her.. of course. Only jerks wouldn't like Maddie. Maddi3e w5as just hhhw[lk00000 Oops lol. Sorry about that Maddie stepped on the keyboard (seriously). lol.

I was trying to say that Maddie was just curled up asleep in my laps, and she was using my left arm so most of this post was typed with just my right hand. But then I got up to let Amy out, and Maddie woke up and Adam just took her....

Anyways, here are some pictures of Maddie I took with my mom's camera (I still haven't found mine). Oh, and I took a picture of Tracey for ya :)

Maddie meowing on the steps. She wouldn't go any further! I had to carry her the rest of the way. Anyways, that is the background of our computer right now.

And finally, the talking bird Tracey!!

Until next time!

P.S. Sorry about the writing being all squished between the photos or whatever but it won't let me fix it
