so sad

my apt complext must be a collection of animal neglectors. first, the downstairs neighbors who don't so much hate dogs as not enjoy owning them. various other dogs downstairs and to the side who engage in barking wars with the poor creatures below me. they are largely ignored, but at least not yelled at. then, my next door neighbor [shares living room wall] joins the circus. why? she has gotten the most adorable little cat, still mostly a kitten. poor creature has been mewing mournfully nonstop for nearly an hour now.

i thought it was one of my two, accidently shut into the bathroom or a closet. perhaps injured in some way. nope. mine are fine. so it must be outside somewhere. i looked around for a while. then saw that neighbor's miniblinds were open a few inches at the bottom. and in those few inches, a tiny little orange head crying. poor thing was just yowling away out the window. i was all set with a can of friskies to feed some stray and try to get it to our no kill shelter. but there isn't much i can do for this kitten trapped in that apt.

my hope is that this is new-kitten in new-place mewing. that there isn't neglect going on. that i have no reason to be upset by the lack of cuddles this tyke is receiving. crossed fingers.

love and peace
