The last time I let a kitten go, she was crying as I carried her out to
the car, and as the car drove off. I'm still traumatized a year later.
I'm going to try and get the mother's new owner to take the whole
batch, and then get rid of the kittens herself. I hate kittens, they're
expensive, high maintenance, they force me to neglect my other cats, and
they make me cry.

It's fascinating watching the mother cat interact with the kittens. She
has a particular trilling purr and the kittens all start meowing
(squeaking) and come running to her. She likes to lay down and watch
the kittens play.


Too cute! In 1986, I found a mom cat and her 4 kitties at my then apt.
complex. I took them in. They were probably about 4 weeks old at the
time. It was the first time I had been around a mom cat and kittens.
It was a lot of fun. I wound up keeping the mom cat, Emily, and one of
her sons, Cory, who lived to be 14 and 18 respectively (Cory died a
little over a year ago). The others all got homes, too.

I wonder if you'll be tempted to keep any of this little family?

Naturally, these humorous remarks are all entirely my own opinion, based
solely
on rumor, supposition, innuendo and damned lies, and should be
interpreted in a
spirit of fun. My memory is faulty, also.
