This post was going to be all about my new winter hat, which I got on a deal for only $10.
It gets so cold in my work area, and with a fan blowing on me all day, I need to wear a hat -- and scarf and jacket -- to keep from freezing. I've been wearing my knit hats, but they tend to ride up and not keep my ears warm. Last winter, a couple of the other brazers had these types of hats, and I thought, "Hmmm..." So when this one came up in a deal, plus a $5 off coupon, I couldn't pass it up.
And I've been wanting a Navy garden flag, so I tossed this one into my cart as well.
But, as I was leaving the plant, I saw crouched in the exit lane a tiny little kitten, and people were just driving over it like it wasn't even there. How the little thing hadn't gotten run over is beyond me, since I typically wait until most of the traffic has cleared out to even leave. And I mean it was right smack dab in the middle of the driving lane.
As soon as I saw it, I shouted, "Hey! That's a kitten!" I slammed on the brakes and jumped out of my car, and with the help of a couple of other employees, I finally caught the thing and hoisted it above my head like Simba in The Lion King.
Then, since I didn't have a way to safely drive home with it, I put it into my lunch box until I got to the house. Basically, I went full redneck, but the situation demanded it.
It's such a teeny little thing, but I can't keep it.
I don't even want the cat I have. I certainly don't want another one. I've advertised it in a couple of local groups, but so far no takers. In the meantime, I dragged out the old dog kennel and set it up a place to stay.
It looks like it's about 4-6 weeks old, and is already eating solid food. It's shy and scared, but I think it will tame down pretty quickly.
Anybody want a kitten?

Oh my gosh! How precious! Do you have a humane shelter nearby?
Not here in town. There is one for dogs, but as far as I know, they don't take cats. They're full up anyway and not accepting any animals right now. There is also the city pound, but they're not humane.
I've been posting in all the local groups, but so far, no takers. I had three different people say they'd take him, but none of them actually showed up.
That's so sad :-(
