I'm the mom of many cats: Shep (15 year grey/white female), Bogart (12 year grey male), Stumpy (8 year Red Tabby male, yes, half a tail), Tigger (6 year old brown tabby male), Eight-Ball (Tigger's litter mate, you guessed it, black/white male), Bob Marley (5 year old red tabby male), Pinky (3 year 18 pound red tabby male), Ruby (Pinky's litter mate, red tabby male), Scarlett (2 year old petite, cute, perfect in every way red tabby female), Morrison (10 month old red tabby male), Muddy Waters (12 week old black male), Koko Taylor (Muddy's litter mate, black female).
Oh yeah, then there are the barn cats (age undeterminable)....they just show up for food every day and we catch them when we can and have them neutered/vaccinated: Cross-eyed Larry, Indiana Joan, Blackie, Mom-cat (mother of most of the above mentioned red tabbies and grandmother to Scarlett, Muddy and Koko), and her current litter of red tabbies/calicos......
All of my cats except Bogart are rescues - abandoned strays or born by the ferals. I've nursed Scarlett and her litter mates from 3 weeks old and nursed Muddy/Koko and their brothers (Jake and Elwood now adopted to our best friends) from 10 days old, when their mom's were unfortunate to disappear (probably coyotes or neighborhood dogs).
Yes, I live in the country and have room for LOTs of feline critters.
