National Kitten Day!

National Kitten Day Facebook Page

What a purrfect day to introduce my niece's new kitten!

Meet Eevee!

Isn't she a doll?

Her big brofur is Magoo, whom I adore:

And, I rummaged around to find photos of Sweetie's two babies, from 2009:

Hobo was kitten-sitting Sneakers and Honey on our driveway.

Sweetie, with her kittens

Sneakers making like a meerkat

Honey turned out to be a boy

A neighbor took the kittens, and we TNR'd Sweetie.

Now, she's living inside with toys, beddies, food, and cuddles galore!

Now if Da Boyz will stop hissing at her...

Mia and Kittens

Mama Mia today

In July 2009

Mama Mia showed up in the summer of 2009, heavily pregnant.  Our feral pal Hobo had escorted her to the food dishes on the deck, literally walking her through our yard as her bodyguard.  She didn't show us her kittens for many weeks, then voila!

Sneakers

Honey

I was beside myself, trying to figure out what to do.  Leave the kittens outside with their momma (and dad?) or grab 'em and bring them inside?  I could not get close to the kittens, figuring in time I would be able to.  We decided to TNR everybody then, and caught Hobo and Honey; Sneakers managed to go in and out of the traps without tripping the door, and Mia refused to go near them.  Then one day, both kittens were gone.  I searched everywhere, and asked many neighbors.  I found nothing, and no one had any information.  I put up 'Missing!' signs, and visited animal control every third day for six months.  The kittens never showed up again.  Months later, I used the drop trap to capture Mia, and she was spayed.  But I was heart-broken over those kittens, so with the help of my sister and niece, I found a call-in radio pet psychic, and dialed that 800# until I got through.  The psychic told me the kittens were taken by a neighbor 'close-by' and that they were happy.  Some relief that they were safe, but their disappearance from my life has been difficult.  I mean, look at those sweet kitties!  Mia has always been fearful of me, but recently she's allowed me to pet her, and even scritch under her chin.  She lets out a low purr that I feel in my heart.
