Unexpected visitor

We live in the country on a small farm. We have 2 dogs that we walk twice a day.
This morning, when we were walking our boys, a huge fox came up out of our neighbour’s ditch and shot across the road into our grove. Not an unusual event, but we were glad our cats were safe in the house.
After lunch, we hopped on our bikes and road the mile or so to the mailbox to pick up the mail. We noticed that the neighbour’s RV door was open, which seemed weird. Then we heard a kitten bellowing, and I stopped.
A tiny kitten shot out of the woods, and ran straight up my leg and wrapped itself around my neck!
Jim hopped off his bike and we thought for a minute what to do…. he walked back to the neighbour’s to close the door of the RV, while I cuddled the kitten.
The silly little thing was all over me like a dirty shirt! We figured that it would be a quick meal for the fox, so decided to take it home with us and leave a message for the neigbours.
What a scallywag! He’s a total sweetheart. He stole my heart, but I was really relieved when our neighbour’s daughter phoned and said she was coming for her kitten.
We are a full house, and can’t take on a kitten right now…. but, oh, even so…. he is sooooooooooo adorable!
I really hope that she keeps him in the house. He’s such a sweet little guy that I would hate for him to meet an untimely end!
He sure played havoc with my work schedule, though – yikes!
