No Good Deed Goes Unpunished!

So I meant to post this last night, but because I had to take a dose of Benadryl, my butt was promptly knocked out. At the barn last night we found 7 kittens. Okay, so we didn't much find as abduct them from their mother. But I digress....The mother cat, is too young to have had kittens in the first place, she had them underneath a house. We've known for the past several weeks that she had them or miscarried, as she was pregnant one day, and the next day it seemed as if she was back to normal (why doesn't that work with humans?). Anyway, we were minding our own business, when my son screamed "Look she has a kitten!" Sure enough Fraidy (that's what we call her) was carrying what seemed to be a 4 week old kitten by the scruff. Megan and I followed her to her lair (an unhealthy garbage and trash pile of wood) where she deposited the kitten. Well, because we are such nice people and can't mind our own business, Megan and I took it upon ourselves to rescue the helpless kitties out of the dangerous wood pile. After what seemed like 2 hours, 30 spiders, 2 bees, 5 splinters and dirty filthy hands and knees later, we had 7 kittens. We put them in a box and aligned them next to the other litter of kittens that is probably only 1 week older. Hopefully the mom will learn her lesson and keep them out of harm, or else we'll just have to rescue them again. But during the course of my good actions, I must have absent-mindedly rubbed my eye which caused it to swell. By the time I got home, I had 1-1/2 eyes to peer out of. Hence the Benedryl, which made me comatose for the rest of the night and part of this morning. Next time the darn cats can just stay where they are.
