KITTENS, SUMMER OF 2006

(A female cat was dropped off at our house which already had 2 feral Tom cats. I could see the female getting fatter so I tried to pet her through the bathroom window where I put food for them so that I could help the kittens when they were born. I put boxes all around the porch and garage and family room for her to birth in, but she didn't use them. I couldn't find them for several weeks because if she saw me watching her, she wouldn't go to them. We had rainy and cold weather, and I was really concerned for them all. Finally I saw basically where she was headed in the back yard and told Chris. He saw her close to that location and starting lifting tree branches and tree bark and found 3 kittens snug and dry under some bark. We got them into the bathroom and she finally came in too. Chris put them up for adoption on the internet and he found 3 wonderful homes for them, but I still cried when they left. We got her fixed right away.)
