I found a kitten in my back yard, now what?

[JerkPork]

I been seeing a few cats, like 3, running in and out of my backyard for the past week. For the past couple days I've been hearing a faint meow, didn't think much of it, in fact it almost sounded like a bird. So I'm washing my car and I decide to go check it out. It's a black kitten hidden in a pile of shrubs. Will its parents abandon it now that my pheromones are in the area? What do I do

Braised Cat

• 1 cat cut in serving-sized pieces dusted in flour with salt and pepper
  
• 1/4 c. extra virgin olive oil
  
• 6 artichokes
  
• 2 1/4" thick slices of slab bacon, diced
  
• 1 small sweet onion, diced
  
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
  
• 1 carrot, diced
  
• 1 lemon
  
• 3 small tomatoes, peeled, seeded, and diced
  
• 1/2 c. dry white wine
  
• 2-4 c. homemade chicken broth
  
• garni of 4 flat parsley stems, 6 leafy thyme branches, 1 bay leaf tied up with kitchen twine Salt and pepper
  
• 1/4 c chopped flat-leaf parsley (optional)

1. Snap the leaves off the artichokes until only the tender inner leaves remain. Snap off the stem. Trim the remaining green bits from the bottom of the artichoke, and cut off the inner leaves in a bunch at the point where they are very tender. Pare the tough green outer layer off the remaining stem, pairing the stem into a point. Now cut the artichoke bottom into quarters and remove the choke with a sharp knife from each quarter. Rinse to remove any traces of foin ("hay") and drop them into a bowl of water acidulated with the juice of half a lemon.
2. Heat 2 T olive oil in a large heavy casserole or Dutch oven. Dredge the cat pieces in seasoned flour, shaking off excess. Brown over medium heat, turning regularly, until golden on all sides. Remove cat pieces to a plate and dump any oil remaining in the pan. Add 1 T of the remaining oil and the bacon dice. (Omit bacon if you only have access to the thin-sliced vacuum packed supermarket variety.) Sauté until cooked but not "crisp". Add the remaining T of oil and the onion and carrot. Saute for 5 minutes, then add the artichoke quarters and the garlic, stir one minute, and add the tomatoes and the white wine. Turn up the heat and reduce until syrupy, stirring constantly, for about 5 minutes. Lay the bouquet garni on top of the vegetables. Arrange the cat pieces on top, together with any juice accumulated in the plate.
3. Pour in enough broth to come halfway up the sides of the cat pieces. Cover and bring to a simmer. Continue to simmer over very low heat about 1 hour or cook in the oven at 350 degrees for the same amount of time. The cat should be just tender and part readily from the bone. Don't overcook or it will become dry. Check the liquid level frequently and add more broth if necessary. Turn the cat pieces once.
4. When done, remove the cat pieces to a warm platter and arrange the vegetables, removed with a slotted spoon, around them. Cover and keep warm. Strain the remaining pan juices into a smaller saucepan and reduce over high heat, skimming frequently, until reduced by 1/3. Pour over the platter and serve immediately. Sprinkle with finely chopped flat-leaf parsley if you like.

Black cats are good luck for black people like crows and ravens. Have that shyt scare cacs. And terrorize them.

I don't want a cat. The last cat I had was a gift my ex gave me and he ran away.
This kitten is still buried under some shrubs and its pitch dark, it'll take me a few minutes if I rescue. I don't have anything to give it either. The last bit of milk I got is for my sons breakfast

You can't let it die. It could be sign or an ancestor. Plus you save an animals life and they owe you a blood debt and can become your familiar.

Do you have a covered patio? You have two choices. Keep it or let the mother come back for it. Just leave it out there with a bowl of milk and the mother will likely return.

At my old house when I was younger, I found some kittens in the backyard while i was on the swings one day. I was upset about something I remember. Anyways, my dad got a box and put it between the screen door and placed them in there. The mother must've come to pick them up. As long as you take care of him for now, he'll be alright. I believe it was @R.O. Double and @Amy Traphouse that got a stray cat recently. Maybe they can give you some advice. That's if the cats still alive.

True.

In d&d a cat as a familiar is gives him a bonus to his move silently skill. So he should prob keep it.
