When we were a little younger my husband and I liked to catch and release large mouth bass. We love to fish the most desolate areas around figuring that the less fished areas would have more and bigger fish. One of the areas in our part of Ohio has a series of developed and undeveloped ponds that actually is a old farm site that has been flooded. It's a real fun place to fish with trees still standing in and around the ponds.
Most of the days we fished at Resthaven we'd see very few people, today we had seen none. We had a day that was good for the fish but bad for the fisherman, and hadn't caught one.
We decided to stop at one last out of the way pond on our home. As we were casting I kept hearing this little sound. As you can imagine, being in the woods, out in the middle nowhere, there are quite a few different birds tweeting and chirping but one odd one caught my attention so I put my rod down and started looking around the trees.
I walked around the pond a little ways and way up in a tree, on a branch that was hanging over the pond was a tiny kitten crying her eyes out. I stood as close to the tree and called "Kitty Kitty" up to her and she came running down the tree to the lowest branch but I still couldn't reach her, so my husband came over and gently picked her up and put her on my shoulder. And here she was, a tiny light grey tiger with runny eyes and nose.
We drove home immediately and got her some food as she was starving. We took her to the vet for meds in the morning and she's been with us ever since. Lucky has been the sweetest kitten that I've ever had.
I called her Lucky because she was lucky that we stopped at that one last pond. She still likes to ride on my shoulder.
