Moving Day~

Its been many years since we've had kittens (of our own) at our house, but a week ago our mama cat decided to have a litter of them out in the flower bed. She tends to "disappear" for days on end and we hadn't even noticed she was expecting....only because she wasn't ever around...and then one day when she was kind enough to "grace us with her presence" we noticed she was about ready to pop. When I found where she had had her little ones, I moved them to a safer, dryer home...an animal carrying crate that we had laying around. I put a nice soft blanket in it so that the kittens would stay warm and dry. Tiny (the mama cat) seemed content and happy to have them there UNTIL one afternoon when our dog decided to sniff around to see what was in the crate.....it wasn't long after that when they disappeared.
She moved them all to a hideaway deep in inder our lilacs....(like the DOG wouldn't find her there~) A few days later we had a downpour of rain, which I am sure soaked them all...so once again she packed up and moved them out.... we haven't quite been able to locate the little critters just yet...but I'm sure we will. Honestly, I really don't care where she puts them, I just want to be able to get to them so we can play with them, making them tame so that when the time comes (and it will), we can give them away to good homes instead of having 5 wild cats running around our yard. Don't get me wrong, I like cats and I like to have 1 good mouser around, but that's ENOUGH for me...(our mama cat is THAT 1 good mouser), so the rest will eventually have to go!

.......I guess THAT will be their "FINAL MOVING DAY!"
