This little kitten showed up in our garden last week. Well it's not like we need a kitten but he was hungry and frightened and we couldn't resist feeding him. He spent the first few days hiding in the hedge and only venturing out to eat. It is really good to see him exploring now and 'playing' among the pots. Yesterday he allowed John to stroke him (just once ) but it is a new beginning. Kittens just like humans need love and time to heal from the traumas of life.
