My lovely in-laws are in India at the moment for my mother-in-law's knee replacements....yes that's right India. This could be a whole blog post in itself, but I'll save that for later when all is said and done. Anyway, they live on a few acres of land by our house. Over the past couple of years, stray cats have come and gone. My MIL feeds them occasionally. Well the mommy cat, had 4 kittens about a month ago. As the inlaws were leaving, they asked if Little Lion and I could come over every couple of days to feed them and feed their coy fish. Sure no sweat. I need all the Daughter-in-law points I can get ;)
5 days later, we get over to there house. (Now don't think bad of me, I was sick and still am for that matter) I call for the kitties. They won't come to you, but will come out of hiding. All of a sudden I hear this loud meowing. LL and I go searching for the cat. It is in their LOCKED garage!!! I don't have a key, but this poor baby obviously was hungry and wanted out!!!
I called my brother-in-law B. He says he doesn't know how to get in and that other BIL, A didn't either. GREAT! B says he'll be fine. I'm sure there is mice in there. BUT no water!!! I reminded him. BIL B thought maybe BIL T would know. He texted him. (Confused yet??? Mr. E has 3 younger brothers, B, T, and A) .
I take LL out to the back of the house where the kitties hang out and feed them. I notice the 3 kittens. There should be 4. They are still nursing and I'm really starting to panic that the poor baby was going to die in there! I try to wait patiently while LL feeds the fish and plays on their swing set. (Yes the grandparents have a very fancy swingset!)
BIL B finally calls me back. He says there is a lock box and here's the code. WHEW!!! I immediately go to the garage and open the door hoping not to see something bad. Nope just a very hungry kitten who was afraid to come out. So I put some food down outside the door and walk away. Eventually kitty came out ;) Hooray!!!
I see the Mommy cat come quickly and started licking and loving on the baby. AWWWW :) I've done my good deed for the day! Let's hope it pays off and my sickness goes away!!!!!!
