I Don't Understand

Here I've been posting on Facebook for four days trying to find this kitten a home, practically begging people to take him, but so far no one has wanted him.  Even the people who have said they'd take him have ghosted me when I ask where I can meet them to bring him to them.  

So this morning, someone else posts that they'd found two kittens doing a DoorDash delivery and did anyone want them.  Almost immediately, someone responds that she wants those kittens.  I don't understand what I'm doing wrong.  Why are these other people getting responses, but I'm not?  

Then, someone else calls me satanic for saying that if the kitten is not adopted, it will have to be put down.  Believe me, I do not want to do that.  Just the thought of it is making me so sick I can't even eat.  Still, what are the alternatives?  But this person says she doesn't understand why tom cats can't just be allowed to be strays instead of this satanic killing of our modern satanic policies -- whatever that is supposed to mean.  

Apparently, no one ever told her where baby kittens come from -- not to mention that if I put this kitten outside, because he's way too young to fend for himself, he would almost certainly starve to death, if he didn't get run over or killed by a dog or coyote first.  Then, if he did somehow survive to adulthood, he would face a life of hunger, parasites, disease, and the risk of being run over, all while fathering a few hundred more unwanted kittens that would also need to be rounded up and most likely euthanized.  

I'd said I was going to get up and take him down to the farmer's market and see if I could find someone there who would take him, but right about the time things were getting started, some pretty strong storms rolled through.  They actually did still have the market, but I didn't go.  Maybe if no one has gotten him by next Saturday, I'll try again, but sadly his time is running out.  If I don't find a home for him soon, I'll have to take him to the pound, and we all know what that means.  

I'm really starting to regret picking the little thing up in the first place, and I'll tell you one thing, I'll never do it again!  

Because of the rain, I didn't really get much done today, but I did get a hat finished. 

Yarn:  Red Heart Bitty Stripes

Colorway:  Crayon Box

Pattern:  Basic Beanie

Needles:  US 8 / 5 mm

I haven't really done much else today, except laundry, and I'm sure you don't want to hear about that.  I suppose I really ought to make myself eat something, but I don't know what I want.  Has anyone ever tried Factor?  I've been thinking about it, because I really need to eat better, but when I get home from work, I just don't feel like cooking.  Some days, even the thought of putting something into the air fryer is simply too much for me.  A healthy, microwaveable meal would be just the ticket.  

OK, I just looked up how much they cost, and wow!  I won't be going with Factor.  Let me go see if I still have a Banquet in the freezer...

And put on an episode of Cranford.
