One of the mama kitties had 7 babies......we only saved three.  They have accommodated themselves in a nice blanket furnished box for a couple of weeks. 

 Other cats have not bothered the kittens and mama has been rather content to let me tickle their fat little tummies.

  I went out yesterday to find all three gone! I could not find their new suite so cleaned their habitat, shook, swept, refolded and rearranged their blankets and box to make an interesting play pen.  No kitties! 

 This morning there was one back, at noon another one, and later the last back from their trip out into the world! They were still rather unsteady on their feet so she must have carried them. 

She actually slipped the last one in while I was getting the lawnmower out to do a little trimming.  I turned around and she was there with the little black one.

She guarded them and comforted them while the lawnmower was making beastly noises.  When I put that big mean thing away she abandoned them to their ranging persuits and went to munch much needed nourishment.

Ooohhh the life of an innocent little kitten!

Peace!
