Thanks all for the support. I hope her absence is only temporary, and that she found a hiding place to have her kittens and will return soon. For a feral cat, she is the sweetest cat. I would have brought her inside if it was not for the two huge cats I have living with me. Something about a Tortie that makes them special. She had a purr that sounded like a jackhammer! Thanks again, I will let all know if/when she returns. I have my fingers crossed.
