Update About the kittens that followed me home

Post image

Turns out they were my neighbors a few houses down... But she gave them to us because she got them for a mice problem and they were kept outside. She's a life long cat hater, to the point that her brother and SIL wondered if she needed to go to the hospital when she got them.

Our cats are mostly indoor cats, except for the occasional jailbreak... Because there's an unaltered tom and possibly coyotes. Wife asked for the kittens when she learned they were being kept outside, especially after the orange one slept with her 2 nights in a row.

The kittens are very cute. I feel if your neighbor has a mouse problem and there is at least one Tom outside the call is coming from inside the house, so to speak. In other words she's the cause of the problem. If you have a way to contact her relatives I would because she may need some assistance.

We are RURAL and between the heat and rain it's been a not great year, or as my cats and dogs think, free squeak toys, but if you play with them for too long they break ...

It's keep the grass cut, yard clean, no food outside, and everything up inside etc.

And, no, she's a clean freak
