Hmm ... Lets see here .. I came around last summer, when I was randomly thrust into kitty momma hood. Bottle raised 4 baby kittens from birth. That brought my kitty count up from 2 rescues to 6. Bringing the house total tooooo ... 11. Right now we have 12, as we have another bottle raised baby looking for a home.
One of the almost year old boys has taken quite a fancy to the 10 week old girl. They play, and even thru her heavy bitings, his claws never come out. He's gentler with her than he's ever been in his life. Funny. Baby kitties bring out the best in everyone.
So, from my house to yours. Hello from Jes and Kate (the humans) and, Dakota (old 'retired' momma barn kitty), Cupcake (her daughter), Butterfinger (Dakota's son who vanished one day, only to return years later as a grumpy barn cat, and is now a happy house cat), Stella (fat calico), Tali (gray kitty rescued as a half dead baby in a barn), Mittens, Caleb, Beast, Sebastian (the bottle raised 5), and Baby Ariel!
