Our home in Idaho came complete with the most charming front porch and two barn {garage} cats. Grandma Thea and her son Tommy. Winnie loved to feed them, they caught mice for us. It was the beginning of simple and beautiful working relationship.
Just weeks after we moved in my parents came to visit. They warned, cautioned and advised us to have those cats fixed.... and don't delay it! I gave them my girl scouts honor that I most surely would. It would take top priority.
Then I forgot. I mean after all moving to a new state with toddlers in tow is not exactly a walk in the park.
Grandma Thea was suddenly in the words of my husband "soooo fat!" Then miraculously she suddenly wasn't (that lucky cat;)
I mean we hadn't been here for very long? At the time it had only been like two months!!....apparently cats are only pregnant for 58 days....live & learn folks.
At this point Kyler was still in denial about the birth of the kittens.
Kyler was going out to the garage late one evening when he yelled down stairs to me "Cate you are going to want to see this....."
They are wiLd little kittens for sure. Never meowing only hissing....if that doesn't give you a warm fuzzy feeling I really don't know what will... :)
Two have bobbed tails a with the largest paws. They never run only scurry.
We have had more then one person comment "what the heck are those things?!"
Kyler votes that Tommy is more then a brother to those four kittens...
I think they may be part lynx!
We will go with part lynx, they should be worth a fortune!! {wink wink}
But only because I love you guys I am willing to give any one of you lucky readers all the kittens for FREE...Consider this my first giveaway!
You're welcome.
This happened to our cat too..and then we succumbed to the wive's tale that they can't get pregnant when they are first feeding their kittens. WRONG. We took her to go get spayed and she was already pregnant. Two litters of kittens in less than 4 months.
ReplyDeleteShe was a really small stray my family had dumped at our house and we totally didn't know how old she was. We thought she was a lot younger than she was. Her second litter was sooo wild because she was mad at us for giving away the first ones.
