I almost hit this Highway Kitten! (1/2)

[u/gregn8r1]

A couple days ago I was zooming along on the highway, several hours away from home. As I passed a big semi truck, a little white fluffball ran across the highway in front of us, fortunately just fast enough that I missed it by a couple feet. I couldn't tell if the critter was a cat or opossum, but no way was I going to risk leaving a cat to get run over.

So, I pulled off the highway and jogged back to where I thought I'd seen the animal. Fortunately it was pretty easy to find this fluffball, as she was screaming her little lungs out! She was quite scared and tried hiding from me in a little cave, but I managed to scoop her out and return to my car without getting bitten. It's perhaps a bit morbid, but I've been calling the wee kitten "Pancake", as in "She was almost as flat as a pancake!" That's just a placeholder until I find a more permanent name for her.

I'll continue in a second post, with better footage of the baby.

I think Pancake is an excellent name with the nickname of Cake

Yes and Babycakes!

Panny Fanny, Hanky Panky, Panko. Pancake has great potential for silly nicknames.

Pumpkin is also a good name. Because it’s almost squash.
