ok, so a few days ago, i was over at my Grandmother's best friend's house(Ruth, she's pretty kewl), and well, she has a bunch of feral kittens, and she was wondering if i would catch and tame them for her. I said sure, why not, right? xD I got to name one of them too, I named a pale ginger she-cat, Emry(Em-ree). Well, yesterday, i went on over there(6 a.m.!) and so it began! The reason she needs them tame and wants to find good homes for them, b/c otherwise her neighbor will euthenise(sp?) them..*bang bang* 
so I saw a pale ginger she-kit over by the old root cellar(theirs about 2 or 3 pale gingers who all look alike) It was a pain to catch too! But i cornered her at the bottom of the root cellar, and grabbed her, well, then she of course started, thrashing, scratching, gnawing and clawing and me, but i kept my grip. I put her in the pet crate i'd brought, and gave ehr soem food and water. After an hour of almost catching cats(i'd get them, but they'd get away...very frusterating...) i went to take a break and sit by my prisinor, as soon as i sat down, she started hissing, i tried to calm her, but it didn't seem to work...I carefulyl opened her crate and reached my hand inside...and she attacked it! She was quite frightened. Well, so i took her home, come to find out that one is Emry ^^ Ruth told me i could keep her if my folks will let me(i doubt it...i hope so though!). Well, i set up all her stuff in the bathroom, since it was basically the best, small, and no where for her to hide/get away spot in my grandparents house. And 9 hours later she stopped trying to kill me! ;D Sometimes if i go down to pick her up, she'll still hiss, but nothing where she's gonna claw me. she's tame...to me, but if my bro and grandparents come near she's hissing and spitting, it's still a working progress. But last night i put all her stuff in my room, and she slept under my bed, and then cried ALL NIGHT LONG!@ I supsoe she misses her mom, i know she was still nursing, but she's also on cat food. I believe she's about a month old? During the night, she got a bit playful(she's warming up to me that she'll purr when i pet her, and play and slee on me this morning ^^) and clawed her way up to my bed, thne bit my feet xD and then when i woke up she was sleeping on my chest 
I luff her to death now! lol, though she doesn't coem when she's called, and it's a pain to get her, i think another week and she'll be more then tame ^^ Besides that, she's giving em soemthign to do! i've been a bit bored the last week. I have 3 more weeks down here in New Mexico, then i'll be heading back....
Anyways! here are soem photos of my Emmie ^^(ignore the dates....i'm too lazy to thingy around with my camera)
(here she is, sleeping on my lap)
(just waking up from the flash)
(Em: AHH!!! Camera! *Hiss*)
(nah....sleep is more important)
(simply adorable...when she finally warms up to you xD i'm actually currently the only twoleg she'll run to)
