This has been another eventful year surrounding cats.  I think I must have been born from one.  I started feeding a mother cat and her kittens last fall and continued feeding them through the winter months.  I started with a feeding station behind the city park at the edge of the woods.  A few quick kitty calls would bring in Mommy and her last kitten.  We got to know each other pretty good.  I ended up with another small group of juveniles that were probably from her previous litters. Fed them at a different location.

I hoped to get Mommy before another pregnancy, but,  egads, missed that one.  I finally caught her in the middle of March of this year and she gave me six lovely little kittens a week later.  Here are  her babies.  It's been a real experience taking care of them all year.  Watching them grow  from babyhood to juveniles and seeing them bond and be ready for adoption.

Mommy and babies at 1 day.



 
Mommy is one of the sweetest cats.  She's still learning to trust and be petted, but she's getting there.  She was recently spayed and got all her shots.  She will stay with me as long as possible.

Babies are a handful.  All females, all six of them. Alice, Abby, April, Donna, Buffy, and Star.

When together, they are very competitive.  Very playful, and  eager to be petted .  I have some of them with a local group up for adoption.  Hope they find new homes soon.  They are all on Petfinder also.

Here's more recent pics of them.  I will keep writing about each of them in future posts.
