It happened again, I now have 3 more cats.
I will not be keeping them, they will be going to my Aunt's house in the country.

All I was doing was walking home from my neighbors and here come a mother cat and two kittens.

Of course they followed me home, they are sleeping in my dog's doghouse, she will not sleep in it.

If there is a homeless cat around it will find me.

They are tame so I think someone just left them.

It is a good thing I buy big sacks of catfood.

1. Thank You
You reminded me to feed "my" outside kitty. He just showed up on my patio one night and knocked on my door and said feed me. They some how know where the suckers live!

4. another "thank you"
and Bless you, Kitchen Witch :)

they don't follow me home, they sit on my porch looking hungry and pitiful.

Next thing you know, they greet me home from work, waiting on their food :)

8. I will take them to the Vet, I can get a discount for Vet care.
They will have a good life on the farm, my Aunt will take good care of them.

With no prompting from you, right? ;-)

7. No, we have a house full of cats.
I didn't even know they were there until I reached home.

They tried to get into the house, that won't work with the other animals.

9. It is a cold here, in the 40's and wet.
The cats ate a lot of food, and went to sleep on the hay in the doghouse.

The doghouse has a blanket on the door so they are nice warm and dry.

15. Sweet.
I'm making a new kitty friend. I don't think it's a stray, as it seems well cared for (can't tell yet if it's a boy or girl). However, my dog is opposed to the adoption (I'm working on it with her!).

11. I went from one cat, to no cats, to four cats, to 8 cats, to five cats.
With the dogs we now have 8 animals here, not counting the cats sleeping in the dog house.

We are full up for now.

Of course that is what I say now.

20. our zero-growth pet population program
despite our efforts to maintain a stable 4 cat/2 dog pet population, circumstances have increased our population to 5 cats/3 dogs with the occasional foster dog...

12. Thank you.
My Aunt needs the cats, and cats need a home.

They will love the barn, all that hay to play on.

16. That's so nice of you.
I'm sure the kitties will be happy on the farm. You have such a good heart and apprently, kitties know that about you. I'd follow you home if I were a stray.

18. My last cat was a rescue.
Animals seem to know who to follow.

They will have a good life on the farm, and lots mice to catch in the barn.
