Dead Computer, Dying Kitten

Actually, it's not quite that bad. The computer is fixed now. We found a guy nearby that could fix it right away. I got it back within 24 hours.
The kitten however, is without much hope. It is only a couple days old, and cries all the time. Its mother must have abandoned it. It is too young to raise by hand. I put some cottage cheese out in hopes of attracting the mother cat if she is in the area.
Cats do sometimes misplace their kittens. They can have one kitten in one place, and then if they are alarmed by a dog or something, they run off and have the next one somewhere else.
I lost track of a baby once. I was gathering up the loppers and a basket of clothes to hang out. I decided to leave Mercy in her seat by the washing machine, take the clothes and loppers outside, and then come back to get Mercy. When I set down the clothes, I got distracted for a moment and started lopping the bushes. After a few minutes I realized that Mercy wasn't there! I ran upstairs and down, and then remembered I had left her in the garage by the washing machine.
You don't have to be old to be forgetful. But it helps.
