Just call me Dr. Dolittle

No really, I CLEARLY communicate with animals on some level.  To the point where they feel the need to adopt me and/or bring me their young.  Flash back to almost 2 weeks ago.  I am in my yard and my dogs are going nuts.  I find a litter of kittens, momma and an older sibling wedged in an area between my yard and my neighbors.  3 little squeaking balls of fur (oh freaking fantastic).  Well I ignored them because 1.  they are really tiny and need their momma and 2.  she was hissing something awful and I like my fingers attached.  So for the last couple weeks, I check and make sure they are still alive and momma is taking care of them.  Which usually gets me hissed at but whatever.

Now jump ahead to today.  I am about to go to the grocery, I noticed momma cat lingering under my car.  Hmmm she hangs out around here but that's odd.  Then I swore I heard a noise. . . like a squeak.  Oh hell no, what the hell you little feline whore.  I popped the hood and sure enough, there are 3 little balls of fur, IN MY CAR!  My new vehicle has a road guard underneath and momma has placed all three little bundles of joy just under the engine, on the road guard.  OK, now I am freaking out.  I can't start the car, what do I do!?  Thank God I have the boniest arms of anyone I know.  My anorexic looking arms fit just far enough in to pluck each little one out.  Holy crap did they squeal and cry.  Momma was at my feet having a fit but I fussed her and contemplated what to do now.  Why did she give me her babies?!  Its Sunday, the shelter is closed, my vet wont take strays and like hell I am keeping 3 teeny tiny kittens that need to be fed every 2 hours by bottle in my house.  So I did the only thing I could do. . . I brought the tiny invaders back to the crevice in my yard and hoped momma would take care of them. 

She did.  I checked an hour later and she was back in the hole feeding them and hissing at me.  Let's just hope she keeps them.
