Yes, Silver had kittens. My neighbor called me and told me Silver came through her hedges with four kittens following along behind. She said one was orange stripe, one was black, one looked like Silver and she couldn’t remember the other one. I have only seen the black one, and only one time.

Silver hissed at me, which she has never done. It was because her kitten was around the corner of the house. I looked and the kitten ran for the vacant lot behind me. It was so little and so fast.

Lots of vacant lots in the area where the wild cats live. And it seems Silver has kept her babies hidden well enough that they are definitely going to be little wild cats. I’ll never get my hands on one of them now.

When they start coming out, if they do, I’ll get pictures!

Yes, I have been feeding Silver better than my own cats. She’s out there in freezing temps with babies! I put soft food out for the babies, but Silver loves it. She waits for the good stuff. Cats are so cool; nothing but the best for them. Take a lesson – never let anyone take the best from you. You own and deserve the best, too!

Shadow has been acting out because he knows there is yet another rival for my affection.
Tiger has been on his best behavior. He gets blamed for things he didn’t do sometimes.
Jellybean is still the coolest cat in the whole world. He has a little bumper sticker that reads, “Life is Good, just ask me!”
Patch was asking for special food this morning, leading me to the kitchen; she sounded like Eric Cartman on South Park who is spoiled and in total control of his mother. “Ma – Ma – come give me some of that special food, Ma.” She asks, the others demand. If I don’t respond to her, she goes about her business. Not so with Shadow. He will jump on things, chew on things, do anything, until you deliver. Tiger will back up to your nearest favorite object and spray it, saying, “Take that! See what ignoring me will get you!” Jellybean wraps himself around your feet. Or turns around and lets you read his bumper sticker.

Congratulations Silver on being the purrfect Meowmy! Stay warm and well!

Here are the pictures of Silver Fox that I promised.

I had not seen her in a day or two so she was really hungry today. So hungry I was almost able to touch her.  I’ve never been able to touch her, but now that she has started coming back around, I can get closer. Not sure why. She is either really hungry or more trusting.

When Jellybean showed up in the neighborhood, Silver stopped coming around. One morning, early in the a.m., like really early, dawn, I was in the driveway getting ready to drive to the coast, and she was sitting almost in the street in the morning mist, just starring at me. It was so cool. I had been worried about her. Even then I didn’t see her for a while, but now I am seeing her pretty regularly again. I know she has ticks. Jellybean had tons of ticks when he lived in the vacant lot. I’d love to pet Silver. I think she is a she. She is so skinny. I think she may have had kittens, but how would I know??? I really wouldn’t know. She could be a he.

Didn’t I tell you those eyes were baby blue!
