Apple is a feral cat who had kittens a few weeks back. i looked all over for them, & found them once on top of the lawnmower's grass catcher! i moved them to what i thought was a better place, but she wasn't happy & move them again, & i finally found them yesterday. here they are, squashed into a corner of the garage, behind an unused storm door...



& here's their mama, Apple, eating her dinner - taken thru the window

because when i go outside, she won't get any closer to me than this

hope you enjoy the pix!

[font=&quot]yep - this morning, she startled a bit when i opened the garage door. i've moved stuff around so that i can see them...but i acted like i didn't even know she was there. maybe that way she won't move them again! i'm going to pet them some tonight & every day i can so they'll be tame instead of feral like she is.[/font]

well, yesterday when i got home, i went into the garage - mom wasn't there
so i picked up each kitten & cuddled & petted it - while they hissed at me
little, teeny, baby hisses - so cute - practically noiseless! i'm going to do this every day till they get used to me
hopefully!

I bet if you cuddle them daily, they will be just fine as they get older.
well, of course, she moved them friday while i was at work.
i did spot them, tho - they're under the deck
hard to get to for cuddling, altho a couple managed to climb on top of the deck, so they got cuddled before getting back to the group - a little brown tabby boy & a tortie girl
i'm hoping to cuddle as much as possible.
weed-eating the back around the deck will make that easier, so i had my lawn-mowing kid do that saturday!

Aw, that would be so great Laureen!
It sounds like she does trust you...she may be moving the babies, but she's not moving them far!
