No good deed goes unpunished
Hi All,
So Mama Cat has a healthy litter of kittens who are now living on my neighbor Doris' porch. A week ago, when the kittens showed up there, Doris teased DH that Mama Cat had chosen her porch this time instead of ours. Of course, it might have something to do with the fact that we are redecorating our porch. Now Doris is not so sure that the kittens are a good idea after all. Her own cats, Tootie and Myer are staying in the house and acting like brats. Dorrie is going through crunchies like they are going out of style and is mobbed whenever she goes outdoors. Kittens are cute little things, right? Yes they are, but Mama Cat is in the process of teaching them how to kill birds and there are now feathers and blood all over the porch. So I just got a call from Doris asking for help. I listen patiently. There are now not one, but two families of kittens on her porch. Eleven kittens is a lot of kittens but they're not really ready to be taken from their mothers yet. Doris asks me what to do. I try to calm down the easily excited Doris and tell her that Lynda will call the animal control people on Monday and see if they will come out and help with the roundup. The problem with the kittens is that Mama Cat wants her kits to be wild cats who just happen to have a meal ticket. She doesn't like the idea of people getting too close and teaches this behavior to her babies. We'll just have to do the best we can. Eleven kittens, yikes! Regards and Purrs, O J Gritmon |

Yikes!!!! And I thought it was bad getting mobbed by four little ones on my
front porch - and they try to climb up me! I made the mistake of wearing shorts once - not one of my more brilliant ideas. I'll be glad when the Fearsome Foursome are old enough to be adopted out. -- The ONE and ONLY lefthanded-pathetic-paranoid-psychotic-sarcastic-wiseass-ditzy former-blonde in Bloomington!

He thought it was so cute, the way the kitten would climb him to get to his shoulder - until the day he was shaving in the bathroom, nude! |

If it weren't summer here, I'd be wearing several pairs of jeans when I go
out there. Fist it was just Meanie that climbed... then Eenie... now all four! Know how hard it is to walk with 4 kittens attached to you ankles???? I have to take GIANT steps and lift my legs up HIGH in order to get through unscathed (it also helps to watch them and make sure you yank the target ankle out of the way just as they make a leap for it, then you can take a couple steps away while the sit there confused and wondering 'wha happened?') - makes me look like I'm walking through a muddy, leech infested bog -- The ONE and ONLY lefthanded-pathetic-paranoid-psychotic-sarcastic-wiseass-ditzy former-blonde in Bloomington!
