Kittens

I forgot to tell y'all about the kittens. We've been feeding the strays around here, and there's lots of them, and eventually hope to try and catch, fix, and release, to avoid another feral cat colony appearing. So you know about Lewis, but now there's Sage. She was very afraid of us, but would come up for food, and she was obviously pregnant. Well, over the weeks, she got braver, then got to the point where she was the most loving cat ever, even putting her feet up on the windows looking in and trying to come in the front door. We didn't want her to have her kittens and have them become feral and thereby breeding litter upon litter. So we put her in the garage, and the vet said she'd give us a discount for the strays we're wanting to get fixed. Sage went to the vet today, and she's due any day and best guess is 4-5 kittens. Vet says she's had a previous litter (how do they know that?) and is between 2-3 years old. So... kittens!! We think we have homes lined up for at least two, and the vet said she'd try and help us place some as well.

We are now officially a halfway house for pregnant kittehs.

***applauds you***


When we were children we lived on an air station in Hawaii and under the Quonset hut we lived in were feral cats. My father helped us coax out a couple of the kittens, who spit of course when we retrieved them, but the mother never emerged. My sister called one of them, the runt, 'Spitty'.......
They were lovely cats.

I'd take one, but I'm too far away.

Awwww! Those will be cute. I'll bet you'll end up with at least one of them yourself. You just won't be able to give them up. :)

That is amazing. You and Nin are wonderful to our furry babies. I wish I could take one, but not sure Raven and Methos would welcome a new kitty into the household.

They'd have to share the power cords....

aw it's great you're taking care of all these animals. I probably would if I were on my own/didn't have two dogs that would not take to having other creatures around
