OUR KITTEN KEATS became FUJI (the stray cat)

Our Kitten Keats must have strayed some from home, actually she was a very friendly cat and loved 

people. This story is in past tense since we have not seen Kitten Keats since September 7, 2025.

Here is a current picture of Kitten Keats

                                           K. Keats alias FUJI

Here is a picture of Kitten Keats with her brother Jethro. Both cats are tabby's, and I am very fond of 

this picture of them lounging on a pillow.

I knew Kitten Keats either had an accident, was shot at by a BB gun, a taser or was attacked by a swarm 

of bees or re-inherited her original flea infection.  Bruno my roommate brought her home when she was 

small, barely weaned.  She was infested with fleas as a new born, since mom was probably not that 

well  taken care of by her owners.  I had to keep Kitten Keats contained in the bathroom. I spent time 

combing the fleas out but prior to getting to that task, I gave her a bath.  As she got older she put her 

paw down and scratched the heck out of me when I tried to rinse the soap off in the tub.

Keat's was  Bruno's favorite cat. He adored her and he gave her special attention above the other three 

cats we had at home.  

friend used to come in through the kitchen window.  The last time I saw her, I noticed she was injured on her

 shoulder. It was a big wound, it looked as if someone shot her with a B-B gun.  I took off her flea collar

 and was ready to examine her injury.  I turned my back and she jumped on the kitchen counter and

 stood in the window. She looked at me with sad eyes. We connected and it was as if she was saying 

goodbye.  I could not reach her in time she jumped out the window and then was gone. 

It took some doing, but I actually found out that she was brought to the emergency room by a someone 

the veterinary hospital called a samaritin.  The samaritin took FUJI with them after a short stay in the 

veterinary hospital.

Fortuantely I asked around and someone I connected with knew a friend who had recently picked up a 

cat.  Oh lucky me I was contacted by the "samaritin" by text message. So I knew Kitten Keats was 

safe, or atleast she was with someone who cared for her.

a call by a lawyer / mediator about pet ownership.  So I have to negotiate whether we can have our pet

 back home with a legal professional.
