    It's Sunday afternoon here in SEA. I came home at 4.30am after a night out, slept for a couple hours, somehow woke up super refreshed. Felt like going for a morning stroll, but I

    had the odd feeling that I wanted/needed to take the car, as opposed to my c h rocket. I thought, ehh why not, I haven't driven the car in a week anyway - might as well go for a coffee drive.

    I pulled up to my usual coffee joint, grabbed my order and stood at the side of the road; sipping iced coffee while I watch literbikes and Kawasaki H2's and Porsches and whatnot buzz by.

    It wasn't long before I heard a very loud meeping yelp, typical of a young kitty. I thought, wait where did that came from? I looked left, right, front, back, up, down,... and saw that

  • Honestly, we get this guy. Especially after a night out and very little sleep. It is not all too crazy for a cat lover to imagine that they are hearing the tiny sweet meows of a kitten. After all, when we are feeling delicate like that, what more could we want than to have a cute kitten or cat to dote on. So naturally the mind wanders and takes us to where we want to be. But in this case the kittens were real and the reality that he was going to have to step up and take care of them was setting in. Now to see what this cat lover decides it best to do with this cute pair of kittens.

    First thing that came across my mind, amidst the mental chaos, was the vet I brought my rescues to. They were good and not particularly expensive, but a tad far. I looked up their

    I'm bringing them. I put them, still on the box, in my passenger floorwell. As I was driving away from the coffee shop, I remember one of my biker friends (who happens to be a crazy

  • Ah see, we knew this feline fan would end up doing the right thing. It is a crying shame but when it comes to cats on the street there is often little that shelter can do, especially when they require special care. So it is usually for the best that a cat lover comes by and takes ownership of the situation, resting the responsibility of caring for these kittens squarely on their shoulders. A place that they know is safe and dependable. Just as these kittens find themselves in. sure there is a long way yet to go from here, but at least these cuties will be safe and sound.

    recommended that I warm them up, but they're okay otherwise no ticks or anything. The vet then sent me away with a couple of small syringes and some kitten milk powder.

    From the vet, I stopped at pretty much every hardware store I came across. None had filament bulbs in stock, all they had were LEDs. I was close to giving up, but I decided I'd go home first, house them somewhere

    comfortable and safe, then continue the search. At home, I told my mom about the whole ordeal, and how I was unable to find filament bulbs to keep them warm, and that I'd probably have to order them online.

    She then pointed to the standing light fixture at the far end of the living room — which had 4 filament E27 bulbs, all bright and warm. If that isn't the universe lining up in my favor, I don't know what is.

  • 28

    I brought the kitties into my room and put them in a diaper pad- lined carrier, while I had my brother run to the closest hardware store to get E27 fittings and some wires and plugs.

    As I'm finishing typing this post, I'm gonna get a shower, then probably a couple hours of shut-eye, before feeding the kittens again. I'll then continue with rigging the lights in their carrier.
