9/7/16 Mark called me at 7:30am and told
me he saw one of the kittens fall out of the back of his pickup and go running
to the ditch. It didn’t take long to realize that all 3 kittens were missing.
They most likely crawled up inside and jumped or fell out along his route to the
shop. He told me whereabouts the kitten was he saw. Sure enough tucked away in
the grass and meowing when we called him, was Skippy. He was wet from the tall
grass and a little shaken up, but ok. We checked the truck over and found
nothing. I went back and got all the kids to help search for the others. We
each took a section of the road between home and the north corner and walked. I
really had my doubts that we would find them. They could have been a lot of places and
have gotten in the tall corn. Then we went near the cow barn. Jake and Luke
found Walle meowing when we called for him near the creek. I was shocked wefound him. He was very wet and
shivering a lot. I don’t know if it was more from cold or being terrified. He
was so happy to be home and see his mama cats. We had to stop our search
because of the rain. Just before noon, we walked near Mercedes house again. We
came home for lunch and I was thinking we may never see the last one, Daytona.
Luke’s yellow kitten with 4 white sox. He was sure he would find him near the
round bales at the cow barn. He searched all around the cow barn area with Jake. Back at home, he wrote on our glass window “MISING CAT, SMALL AND YELLO. Out of nowhere
while standing outside, Luke felt a little rub against his leg and looked down
to find his Daytona purring. We were all in disbelief. 5 hours after he went
missing, he was home, wet and dirty, but happy and safe. Wow, that truly was
amazing!! The kids were praying all morning for help in finding the three lost
kittens. Now if they can just keep out of trouble!
