Bullet - Stopping for coffee one day off a busy highway, I noticed something curled on the sizzling pavement near the freeway. Suddenly, the tiny bundle moved. It was a little kitten, fearfully trying to escape its circumstances by digging into the asphalt. Suddenly, a car approached. The bundle froze, peeked around, then darted abruptly into a grassy median off the highway. 

I crossed the road and approached the kitten slowly. As I came from behind, I noticed the kitten wore a purple harness. I picked her up firmly by the harness and she relaxed. She purred quietly while we drove home.

The kitten is a classic tabby, with beautiful markings resembling a bulls-eye, hence the name Bullet. We looked for lost signs but couldn't locate an owner. Bullet is playful with dogs, loving with people and respectful of the resident cat, Archie. Although Archie hates her, he bravely tolerates her. Bullet was vetted, fixed and found a lovely indoor home with an "Austin Aussie Rescue" volunteer.
