Mommycat does look related to Angel! The kittens are so darling!
Just went out to feed momma cat and check on the babies. They weren't in their little corner. So, I peeked into the box. There they all were including momma. What a relief. It's been raining since last night and going to be in the 30s tonight. I've been worry about them all night and day.
Now they have a nice fluffy towel and a warm spot to stay in. :love:
God bless you, Moff, and God bless this little family!
:love::love::love::love::love::love::love::love:
Just checking in to see how momma and the babies are doing.... hope all is well!
They seem to be doing ok. I got to hold one of the white ones briefly last night. Momma cat was having some roll in the grass time. Just enjoying a brief break from the babies.
I heard one of the babies mewing. Momma wasn't concerned but I went and peeked anyway. One of the white ones had walked out of the box and around the corner. It was between the box, and the wall and another box I had put there to stop them from further adventures if they should happen that way.
I picked it up and put in back in the box with its sibbies. Of course, I had to give that cute little chin a tiny rub and the little ears too. Momma came and glared at me so I didn't have time for more. :D :love:
Gee, they are over 2 weeks old already :) I'm glad mommycat hasn't moved them. Bless you, MoFF for keeping tabs on this little family!
:love: Awee they are all so precious.. Yes like the rest said is Momma looks like a Sibbie of Angel.. I so hope you can get homes for all of them && also momma fix if she will let you..
He was there earlier but there have been guys working in my yard with skip loaders and dump trucks putting back my yard they dug up last fall. I'm thinking the mommy came back while the men were gone and took it off somewhere. the guys said they haven't seen it or the mom. I've looked all over the porch. I'll keep you posted. Please keep your fingers crossed for the little one. It's damp and chilly here today. :love:
Orangie found!
I went to check on the babies and the mommy was back. She has moved the three out of the box. That surprised me because it's cold and damp here today. I figured she was feeding them before moving them. Those 3 had been hours without her. Anyway, I kept thinking I heard a faint meow so went looking.
Sure enough. The orangie was under the bush where Lilac had left Chip and Chuck and their sibbies. It's right by where the mommys kits are but on the other side of the porch wall. The little one was laying in the grass. So I picked him up and took him back to the porch to his mommy and sibbies.
I also put a extra soft cuddly blankie in the box hoping to entice her to stay there with them at least a few more days. Specially tonight. We are to get storms tonight. It's a blanket that Angel usued to use but doesn't any more so it is extra soft.
So, I snuck a cuddle with the orangie on the way back to its mommy.
Oh, Mommycat! I would really like you and the babies to stay on the porch, please!
Mommy and babies still on the porch right now. She even moved them into the box and on the cuddly blanket last night. She has them out on the wood floor of the porch right now. We will have more storms moving in in a bit so I bet she will tuck them back in the box soon. :D We thank you all for you love and prayers. :love:
Oh, good, we're glad they're all on the porch! Stay safe and warm, kitty family! Prayers and lovies for you all.
Stay right there, mommycat and kittens! More prayers and lovies being sent.
Prayers that momcat and kits stay put.
MoFF, how are the mommycat and kittens doing? Are they still on your porch? They're past 3 weeks old already!
Edited to add: I lit another candle on gratefulness.org for them
They are growing like little weeds. They are still on the porch but probably won't be much longer. They are getting around pretty good. I hope they wait until all the rain stops and it's warmer. For some reason, they won't stay in the box but like to curl up in the corner.Quote:

There ought to be a law against being sooooo cute.:love::D:D
They're all so adorable.:)
When I went to check on them this morning, the littlest white one was gone. He was laying stretched out against the corner of the box. I don't know if the wind blew and it hit him or he just passed on his own. That corner did seem to be a bit further out than it was yesterday but it wasn't on him. All the kittens were outside the box.
He was the littlest and weakest and did not seem to be thriving like the others were. In fact, I was amazed that he made it through the first several days. But he had been growning so I hoped he would be ok. He just did not move around as much as the others. The mommy had the other three in the corner with her and watched me.
I told her I was sorry but he was gone and I needed to take him. She hissed once but allowed me to take him. I wrapped him in soft paper towels and put him in a little box and buried him under the lilac bush. I was glad we had all the rain because other wise, I would not have been able to dig the hole. No way was I going to put him in the trash even if I can't walk for days now. I put a brick over his grave to keep critters from bothering him.
His mommy sat on the porch and watched me.
I told her about the Rainbow Bridge and that Lilac was there and would watch over him until she joined up with him. I'm sure she is tending to Winnies babies that didn't make it so one more would be welcome. Lilac loved babies.
Then I came inside and cried.
Rest in peace little one. I'm so sorry I couldn't keep you safe. :( :love:
I'm so sorry to hear that the white kitten has passed. RIP little one.:( I hope the others will continue to do well and thrive.
Deepest sympathy to you over the loss of the precious little white baby. In his short little time on earth, he has known great love from you.
God bless you and the kitty family, MoFF.
:love::love::love::love::love::love::love::love:
I am so sorry to hear about the little white kitty.:(:( I feel sure that
this momma kitty knew you were doing the right thing for this poor baby.
Rest in Peace little one.
LES :(:(:(
I'm so very sorry MOFF.
RIP little one. You didn't know it, but you were loved so very much.
LES here too :( :(Quote:

Oh Moff, God Love You!!! A Saint to all kitties is what you are.
Rest little one, it is good you are at the Rainbow Bridge if you were not strong enough to hang on with us.
Phred will help take care of you I am sure.
MOFF - {{{{huggs}}}} As painful as this is, remember none of them would have had a chance without you.:love:
RIP wee one.
MoFF, how are the mommy and babies doing? How are you?
We are doing ok. The babies are starting to eat now. When I put mommys food out this morning all three little tails were waving in the air like: What's ya got mom? and they put their little faces in to look it over. The white one was chomping on some kibble. They do have wet food too. Right now though, they like what their mom serves best. :DQuote:

Just went to refill the water bowl and saw mommy across the alley. When I looked the babies were no where on the porch. I'm sure she has moved them to some bushes under a couple of trees across the alley behind a house there. That will be an ok place for them. There is brush there they can hide in and they will be able to play. The house there has a couple with no children and the house beside that one is empty, so there will be no one to bother them by playing in the yard. Just will have to watch for mowers.
They need to be off my porch since it is getting so hot outside. That porch gets like an oven in the afternoons when the sun is shining on it.
I will miss them but will most likely see them when she wants them to have meals later on. Now I won't have to keep having nightmares about them falling off that porch and getting hurt. I couldn't stand to bury another one. :love:
MoFF, you did good with this little family! :love: :love:
I found the babies last night. they were closer than I thought. When I took some trash out this morning, I saw mommy sitting by the porch on the grass. Suddenly I got a sneaky hunch. I peeked and sure enough she had moved them to where she had stashed the orangie that time, the same place Lilac had put her babies for safe keeping.
I walked up and peeked at them. When I said HI Babies, the orangie and whitie, went into the crack and under the porch. The tuxie came running to me as fast as his pudgy legs would go. He sat at my feet and looked at me like saying, "HI". Of course, I had to pick him up for a snuggle before putting him back beside his sibblings.
I was surprised because they never came to me on the porch. I have talked to them since they were born so I guess he recognized my name and came over. :D :love:
Awww how sweet.:) So will any of them wiggle their way into your heart or home this time or will you be able to stay strong?;)
I have to stay strong!!! How could I take just one of them and not the others? 9 cats inside would be way too many for me to care for. (6 realy is for that matter) If I was young and healthy and still could drive, I'd sure consider it. :love:Quote:

At least you can keep them familiar with you so they won't get too feral...and hopefully Mom cat will get used to you also.
Great news about the no-kill shelter!
Yesterday was raining and cold all day. The mom cat was on the porch but she didn't bring the babies. I found them cold and wet and shivering under the bush by the house. Maybe I shouldn't have, but I scooped them up and brought them back on the porch.
I think mom is trying to wean them. She kept avoiding them but eventually they all snuggled inside that box on the fuzzy blanket, the mom included.
I about died of fright this morning when I opened the back door to take them some food. There were clumps of white cat fur in quite a few places and also some blood drops.
I was so frightened something had happened to the white baby. I peeked into the box. The white kitten peeked back. All three of them and their mom were snuggled inside.
I guess another cat came on the porch last night and the mom let them know they were not welcome. Mom cat does not seem hurt so the blood must have been from the other cat.
I was just out and checked on them. The white one was sitting on the edge of the porch. I was afraid he would fall off so went out and took him back to the box. Mom was in the box with the orangie and the tuxie was running toward me. I put them back in but out they popped.
I came inside and watched through the window. Mom came and got the whitie by the neck and took him back to the box and the tuxie followed. That white one is going to be a trouble maker for sure.
Anyway, all are safe and warm and full right now. It's going to get into the 30s again tonight so hopefully she will keep them there a while longer.
I'm getting too old for all this drama!!!!! :eek: :love:
Sounds like they are getting more mobile! They are 4+ weeks old already. Be careful out there, lil kittens!
Dang MOFF - where's the cuteness alert???
You should know better than to post kitten pics without a warning..... :D
**Slam!** That was me falling over with cuteness!
They are adorable, all of them. Love the markings on the white kitty.:love:
Oh my goodness!!! They are all just too cute for words!!
