So I was standing by the roadside just this morning waiting for a jeepney. It was raining and the winds were really chilly (wow, it rhymes...).
Suddenly, something caught my eye. It was a tiny kitten crawling towards the roadside! I noticed that it cannot move both its hind legs; it was just crawling by its front legs :-( I figured that maybe it was hit by a car or something. So I came towards it, picked it up by its scruff and placed it at the sidewalk. I wasn't really planning of taking it home with me but the moment I put it down, it called out to me with its wide round eyes, and its body was chilling all over :-(
My whole heart melted and without thinking, I picked it up, wrapped it around my
labakara (face towel) and placed it inside the plastic bag I was holding. It didn't scream or cry or anything. It just looked at me and meowed a little. When I started walking though it started to meow a little louder but I comforted it and scratched its head and neck.
Finally, a jeepney came by and thankfully the front seat was empty so I took it coz I didn't want the other passengers to stare at me and my kitten. You know, it's not normal for someone to pick up a kitten by the roadside!
On the way home the kitten just kept staring at me with its wide eyes and occasionally meows a bit louder but I kept comforting it and scratching its head and neck. Minutes later, it fell asleep. I noticed that all its legs were still intact and there were no traces of blood or broken bones whatsoever so it kinda confused me on why it's crippled.
So anyway, I finally got home and greeted my 7 other cats. Yep! 2 adult and 5 kittens! I know! I'm a feline lover and I just can't stand poor homeless cats! That's why I'm working so hard on my blogs now so that I can have extra money to be able to take good care of my cats more! And I'm not even kidding!
I must admit though. Seven cats (plus one) is A LOT! So I'm gonna be completely honest with you guys. I'm looking for new foster parents (that are taga-Cebu) for the kittens. Especially the one I just found. There will be 3 kittens for adoption. The other three I still can't give out coz they're still too young they might die.
So I'm just gonna give out the three kittens. Two of them are male and the newly found crippled one...I'm not really sure yet if it's a male/female but I think it's male (BTW, I decided to name it "CJ"). So if any of you are interested (Cebu based only), pls. let me know! I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of all of them anymore. I may not be able to feed them more often :( So I need responsible foster parents who
doesn't only likes cats but loves them and adores them and respects them :)

Let me know guys! Okay so I'll talk to you later. Bye! :-*
Everybody, meet Phantom, the not-so-friendly neighborhood cat. Her name, (yes it's a she) was originally "Scarface", which was supposed to be after the villain in Batman, but a friend reminded me that it wasn't Scarface but Two Face. So I later renamed her "Phantom", which I think is more appropriate after another friend of mine said that she's like the Phantom of the Opera ;-)
I actually just found her lurking outside our house one morning looking for food. When I saw her face I was like "Man alive!!!!", hehehe! And now she's all mine, nyahahahahaha!, well...almost. My husband and I actually just recently decided to stop adopting cats anymore now that we already have 4 and we also have a baby. So yeah, can't have Phantom :(
We still feed her though, especially that she just recently lost her two kittens. Yeah, poor Phantom. She looks for them every now and then. She didn't know that they died. It really breaks my heart when she calls them out.
Anyway, I think she's over it by now. I hope one of our neighbors would adopt her or at least feed her when we move to another place. I'm surely gonna miss Phantom by then :)
