I had a very petite and tiny black kitten born on my farm. She would follow my Father and me all over the farm. She would do the same thing if someone came to visit us. She was always underfoot, and we were afraid we would accidentally step on her and kill her. She was a very kind and loving little female kitten. She knew enough to stay away from cars and farm machinery. If I tried to run so she could not catch up with me, it did not work. The minute I turned around, she was right there, johnny on the spot.
She would eat a fair amount of cat food, but she never seemed to grow. I thought she would always remain tiny for her age. She was very healthy and could run like the wind. She had her rabies and distemper shots and checked out fine with my vet. I think our dog got a little annoyed with her sometimes because she would also follow our dog all around the farm when we were in the house.
I put an ad in our local newspaper under giveaways. I feared someone would eventually step on her and kill her by accident. A lovely young couple answered my ad. I told the couple she was tiny and would probably stay that way for the rest of her life. The couple came out to our farm and fell in love with her the minute they saw her. I asked for their name and phone number so I could check up on her later.
I waited about a year before I called the young couple and asked them how the kitten was coming along. They told me that she turned out to be a sizeable female cat and that they loved her so much they got another cat to keep her company. I was glad my young cat found an excellent and loving home.
