KITTENS!

We have a cat who decided she wanted to be an outside cat. When she came to us a little more than a year ago she was a tiny, sickly kitten who didn't seem like she was even old enough to be away from her mother. But we took care of her, got rid of the flea infestation that threatened her life, and nursed her back to health. She stayed in for a while, but the "call of the wild" got the best of her. She still comes in every day to eat, but she spends most of her time outside. She had been getting fatter, so we knew she was pregnant, but then one day about 2 weeks ago she came up to eat and she was MUCH skinnier. She was obviously hungry because she ate a full can of cat food PLUS some of her dry. Childbirth can wear you out, yanno.

This morning we got a special treat. She brought her kittens up to live on the porch.

Three little kittens have joined our family. The kids are ecstatic.
