A Surprise in the Garden

This afternoon I found a momma cat nursing three kittens in my garden. We have had several stray cats roaming around our yard this year, including a big orange tomcat and several "teenager" cats, and now a litter of kittens too! Momma cat looks very young to me; I don't think she is much older than a teenager. She is very pretty with green eyes and a sweet face.

None of them let me get too close, but if I moved very slowly I could get close enough to get some good photos with my big lens.

I named this one Lacey since she looks dainty and I think she must be a girl. The other two look a lot alike so they are Pete and Repete...



Of course the kids want us to adopt them, but I don't think our two indoor kitties, Lucky and Misty, would be too happy if we did. I hope to catch them and get them to a shelter soon where they can be taken care of and hopefully find new homes.
