How long did you plan on leaving them there 1 day, 1 month, 1 year? Maybe you
should stop with the bruised ego and hope for the best. You might also
consider that maybe it was the cat's original human who found them and took
them home.

It wasn't the original owner. That's who I wanted to find. It was someone
who decided she liked the look of orange tabby an kitten. People who didn't
ask for them, and who have themselves and two other cats in a cold bedroom
sized place in a cold Newengland winter, a rusted out car that can't pass
inspection (e.g., not money there for proper care), and who may not keep them
together -- probably pointed to the cats by a sister who somehow decided that
she -- who hadn't done one thing for them,. and who was probably annoyed that
they ran from her, but came to me when I showed up and followed me around --
had the right to take them. -- When in fact she ought to be working on the
four kittens she has to get rid of.

Now, start asking for facts instead of assuming. -- We had a momcat who once
she was strong enough and not dehydrated and falling down, as she was the
first time I saw her -- who was seen on at least three occasions a few blocks
away and going further away. She never wandered anywhere else and there was a
network of neighbors and kids who were watching them and for them. I had cats
all my life, and I think the momcat was looking for someplace she once was --
because she had become strong enough to move around, and she was sure the
kitten was protected. And she did take care of her kitten more then most
momcats do.
