The Feral One

It was a hot summer day. The sun's rays beat down on all life below including a tiny kitten. His fur was missing in places, he was covered in dirt, and his nose was broken. Under the extreme heat he went to a tree and sat. Mouth open and panting, eyes closed, and sprawled out trying his best to cool off. Two humans walked up to him. Fear built up in his eyes and he tried to move but was too exhausted from the heat to do so. One human said to the other "Look! There is a kitten laying here in the heat!" The other responded "Let's take him home and give him some food and water." With a steadfast movement of one of the humans hands they picked him up and they walked to their home with the scraggly kitten. There they learned he was wild and very distrusting of humans. So, they placed him in a room with a bowl of food and water, and a litter box. Occasionally, they would talk to him and sit in the room so that he would get use to them. One of the humans worked as a Veterinarian Assistant and noticed he looked quite unhealthy. The next day that human and the kitten went to the Veterinarian. The poor kitten was terrified and let out hisses and howls. Before this examination the Veterinarian Assistant human warned the doctors he was feral and was considering keeping him. During the exam the kitten spatted out of fear. The doctors told the human he would not make a good pet. The human disregarded this warning and took him home after they treated him for parasites. Many weeks, and hisses passed... The kitten was learning to trust the humans and it's okay to be loved and to love these creatures. He had found his forever home. That kitten was is now our beloved Trekka. <3 He is no longer feral and lives a life of luxury indoors with his two humans.
