Something that happens to me a lot is that I find a lot of abandoned animals in the street. I don't know why this happens to me, but since I moved out on my own I have found more than 30 abandoned animals, which I have managed to relocate to new owners who have taken good care of them.

I recently had a new cat named Bucky who I have kept with me for several months and the truth is that it has been a great experience to raise another kitten from a young age and to see him grow up, it is a marvel.

Just yesterday I found another kitten in the street. I don't know if it is female or male, but I think it is female. It always hurts me when these cats are abandoned and it is disturbing that there are people like this, because I found this kitten specifically abandoned in a closed cardboard box in the middle of the street and with the intense midday sun.

Algo que suele pasarme mucho es que me encuentro en la calle con muchos animales abandonados. No sé por qué me pasa esto, pero desde que me mudé solo a mi casa me he encontrado mas de 30 animales abandonados, los cuales he logrado reubicar a nuevos dueños que los han cuidado bien.

Recientemente tuve un nuevo gato llamado Bucky al cual he mantenido conmigo por varios meses y la verdad ha sido toda una experiencia criar nuevamente a otro gatito desde pequeño y verlo crecer, es toda una maravilla.

Precisamente ayer me encontré en la calle otro gatito. No sé si es hembra o macho, pero creo que es hembra. Siempre me duele cuando dejan abandonados a estos gatos y resulta inquietante que haya personas así, pues a este gatito lo encontré específicamente abandonado en una cajita cerrada de cartón en plena calle y con el intenso sol de medio día.

He was suffocated and the first thing I did was to give him some of the water he was carrying and I took him home, without looking back because if I had gotten my hands on the kitten it was for me to take care of him or, failing that, to find him a good home.

Estaba sofocado y pues lo primero que hice fue darle un poco del agua que traía y me lo llevé a casa, sin mirar atras pues si había llegado a mis manos el gatito era para que lo cuidara o, en su defecto, para buscarle un buen hogar.

Since I was caught unawares, I had to take the kitten with me to the store and he accompanied me during the shopping. Luckily he was calm and did not fidget. He didn't even meow.

Como me tomó de imprevisto, tuve que llevarme al gatito a la tienda y este me acompañó durante las compras. Por suerte estaba tranquilo y no andaba inquieto. Ni siquiera maullaba.

At home I tried to take care of him as best I could. I gave him more water and more food than Bucky eats, which is puppy food.

En casa traté de atenderlo lo mejor que pude. Le di mas agua y mas comida de la que come Bucky, que es alimento para cachorros.

Bucky and Tchalla greeted him just as he expected, with rejection and growling. Cats are very territorial and it is not always easy to bring a new member into their territory. This kitten is afraid of everything, whether it is Bucky or Tchalla or the chickens and chicks I have at home, he is afraid of them all.

Bucky y Tchalla lo recibieron tal como lo esperaba, con rechazo y gruñidos. Los gatos son muy territoriales y no siempe es fácil ingresar un nuevo miembro a su territorio. Este gatito le tiene miedo a todo, tanto a Bucky o Tchalla como a las gallinas y pollitos que tengo en casa, a todos les tiene miedo.

And yes, after he rested and ate, he recovered his energy, so much that he had that fearless and mischievous attitude that these kittens usually have; in fact, I don't know why or what the curtain in my living room has, but whenever I have kittens at home, they usually get to the curtain by themselves and spend literally hours playing there.

I still have to keep an eye on it because it climbs up the curtain, climbs up and then doesn't know how to get down on its own, so it's like if I have a baby that is learning to walk, I have to keep an eye on it.

Y sí, después de que descansó y comió, recuperó energías, tanto que afloró esa actitud intrépida y traviesa que suelen tener estos gatitos; de hecho, no sé por qué o qué tiene la cortina de mi sala, pero siempre que tengo gatitos en casa, estos suelen llegar solos a la cortina y pasar literalmente horas jugando allí.

Igual me tica estar pendiente porque sube por la cortina, ma escala y luego y ano sabe cómo bajarse solo, asi que es comk si tuviera un bebé que está aprendiendo a caminar, debo estar pendiente de él.

But I'm glad he is feeling well now and is more cheerful, I remember that when he came home he was very sad and even fell down by himself, a sign of how weak he was. But with just a little food and water he recovered his spirits, something that was seen even that same night.

Speaking of the night, something I found very funny was that the kitten took refuge in my shoes. I put him in a little box with a cushion that Bucky used when he was younger, but no matter how hard I tried to get him used to the cushion that night, he just kept coming back to my shoes.

Pero me alegra que ahora se sienta bien y esté mas animado, recuerdo que cuando llegó a la casa estaba muy triste y hasta se caía solo, señal de lo débil que estaba. Pero con solo un poco de comida y agua recuperó el ánimo, algo que se vio incluso esa misma noche.

Hablando de noche, algo que me pareció muy gracioso fue que el gatito se refugió en mis zapatos. Le acomodé una cajita con un cojín que usaba Bucky cuando estaba más pequeño, pero no por más que intenté que se acostumbrara al cojín esa noche, simplemente volvía a mis zapatos.

In fact, when I hid the shoes and the kitten couldn't find them, he started meowing too loudly until I gave them back to him and then he went back to hide in one of these. There he slept, there he spent the night.

De hecho, cuando escondí los zapatos y el gatito no los encontró, se puso a maullar demasiado fuerte hasta que se los devolví y entonces se volvió a esconder en uno de estos. Allí durmió, allí pasó la noche.

As you can see, he is a beautiful and adorable kitten. I sincerely hope to find him an owner soon, because I won't be able to take care of him here for long, I already have enough.

In the meantime, here at home he will be safe and although this will be his temporary home, he is immortalized in these pictures as a temporary member of the family.

Como ven, es un gatito hermoso y adorable. Espero de corazón encontrarle un dueño pronto, porque no podré cuidarlo aquí por mucho tiempo, ya tengo suficientes.

Mientras tanto, acá en casa estará seguro y aunque este será su hogar temporal, queda inmortalizado el gatito en estas fotografías como un miembro temporal de la familia.
