OMG kittens!

Last night mzrowan discovered a family of cats outside her window. After we watched them for a while, she went out with a bowl of food and a cat carrier, but mom cat was hissy and they ran off, so she just left the stuff there on the back stairs... and before she got back to her room, mom cat was already inside the box. We watched the kittens approach, one by one.

Here's where they've been hiding until now.

All four of them spent the night in the box, and this morning the bowl of food was empty, but now mom cat has decided that apparently people are great!

The kittens, however, are not yet convinced, and snuck off under the bush behind the back wall of the house.

omgkittens! Socute!

I do hope someone can get them caught and fixed soon.

I think they're staying here for a while, for the free food and shelter, so we'll figure something out.

They're very pretty!

Awwww! I love how they don't go off the edge of the step--like little kids who've been told not to step off the curb because they can't cross the street without a grownup.

Funny! They actually crossed the lawn all by themselves - those stairs you see them on are the back deck, which is the other back corner of the house, not the one with the backdoor and food bowl and cat carrier. I think they were thinking of the back deck as their shelter from the scary people their mom was consorting with.

Me too! I like the longing looks, and the leapfrogging. They're so tiny and kitty-like. I get all mushy with this stuff.

OMGKITTENS!

Mom-cat is surprisingly sanguine about people for a stray - former people-cat tossed out when she came up preggers perhaps?

Now THAT is adorable. I think Mom's a Maine Coon, and based on the kittens, I'd guess that Dad was a grey tabby.

Erm, yeah. Like kittens.

This is how I ended up with 3 adult cats & 8 kittens in my tv room a few years ago. (I did find homes for them all, eventually, except the two I kept...)
