How I Found My Home: Part Two

So there I was - alternating between making a break for the hedge and being hissed and swatted at by the mean cats, running out into traffic and huddling in the gutter. I was SCARED and I didn't know what to do and none of the humans going by on the sidewalk would stop and help me! But then I saw someone coming...she had 3 bags of groceries and she saw me from a long way off and she looked worried... When she got to where I was she stopped to talk to me. She told me that I was too little to be outside and too little to be on the street and that I was going to get splatted. Like I didn't already know all that!!! She tried to get me to scoot into the yard, thinking that was my home, but then she realized that the bad cats weren't going to let me come in. She knew that if she left me there, I would keep running out into the road to get away from those cats and that I would surely be killed. A kind-hearted and kitty-loving girl she was, and she couldn't bear to think about my sweet self under the wheels of a car. So she scooped me up with one hand and picked up all 3 bags of her groceries with the other. I was so scared and so happy to be UP, that I just snuggled right into her chest and I didn't struggle at all. She could feel my little heart beating fast. She was sure that a nice kitten like me must have a good home and was surely just lost, so she knocked on all the doors on that street, but I didn't belong at any of those houses. What else could she do but take me home? I kept my face snuggled into her sweater the whole trip - I wouldn't even look around. It took about 5 minutes for us to get home and I was SO glad to be there. I was still really scared though. I missed my cat Mama and my brothers and sisters and I wasn't over the trauma of being out in the street, so I insisted that my new peep hold me ALL DAY. She couldn't even put me down for a minute or I would cry and cry. The girl phoned the boy at work and told him all about me and told him to bring home kitten food and litter. They agreed that I was so pretty and so sweet that I MUST have humans that were missing me a lot, so they planned ways to find my family. But it proved to be harder than they thought...
