Finally - Again
Hmm, if this goes twice, I'm sorry. Got a server error.
Have photos of the ferals that are around, I think the others are camera shy . http://tinyurl.com/6wpeq Li'l Bit appears to be expecting, she's two or three weeks along. I'm trying acclimate her to the house, since there is a preponderance of toms, I worry about the babies. The link is to Yahoo photos, in case you are worried about malware or the like.

For feral cats the Pretty Face and Lil Bit are very cosy with the Paw. is there any chance of keeping Lil Bit indoors until she is ready to pop? |

SuzQ wrote: They're very attractive cats. Its too bad they don't have a home, but its great that you feed them. Suz&Spicey Well, here's the story about Li'l Bit and Pretty Face. Pretty Face showed up last year, during winter. Because we had had a couple of cats get under the house and die (starvation) two years ago, I've been putting food out for the strays/ferals. Honestly, I had not seen either of the two who passed before. So, all the cats in the neighborhood (even the homed ones) know that they get Friskies or Whiskas crunchy food. Pretty Face was terrified of me and Paw when she first showed up. As soon as she saw us, she'd run (along with all the others). Took 3 or 4 months, but she finally let me pet her one day. Now I go out, call Pretty Face and she comes trotting across the street (very few cars) mrowing as she runs. She is so sweet. If only she could get along with the d*g, then she'd be inside. One day, I heard someone outside, messing with the gate (and I could hear Pretty growling really loud). There was this 14 year old boy trying to get her attention. I asked who he was, and he said he owned "Jamie" (she never did answer to Jamie, even when I tried it). He tried to pick her up, and she literally tore him up, jumped down and ran away. I didn't see her for a couple of days (and I cried about it, silly me). I kept putting food out for the others (Poor Boy, Snake, Stubs, Ghost... Yeah I name all the cats I see regularly). Anyway, a neighbor came by and we got to talking about Jamie/Pretty Face. She told me that the boy's mom had kicked out Pretty's Hoomin and he couldn't take her with him when he left. And that the 14 year old basically tormented all the cats, and hit them (I never saw it, or I'd've had to hurt him after I called the cops). So, Pretty comes inside when it's a "really" cold night, otherwise she doesn't want to be inside. As for Li'l Bit, she doesn't want to be inside. As soon as I went to let the d*g out, she came over and looked so pathetic. Short of holding her back every time, she will come in when she chooses, and let's hope I can tell when she gets closer to due, then I'll see about introducing her to the "nest" in the spare closet (she wasn't interested last night).

They're lovely cats, and your a lovely Hoomin for taking care of them
hope Little Bit keeps healthy with her pregnancy, it is a bit of a worry isn't it? Boys are boys after all. is there a vet that would spay them free or very cheap? good luck with that, Jean.P.
