HOLD EVERYTHING

Lucky, the cat we took in on Friday (that we thought was a neutered male), managed to escape. (We don't know how, she seems to be able to open doors. Like a velociraptor.)

Yesterday evening the neighbours found her again. Up a tree. With five kittens, we think about six weeks old.

So, neither neutered nor male, it seems.

All have been captured and the various neighbours involved are housing three kittens between them, which leaves Lucky plus two to come to me, at least temporarily. Now that we know she's a non-lactating young mother I am even more concerned to get her to a vet asap. The kittens all look terribly healthy. Apparently when the neighbours sent their son up the tree he found loads of sachets of food that she had been nicking from somewhere and ripping into to provide food for the little ones.

I have been out to buy kitten stuff and plan to spend the day building a barricade for the spare bedroom door...

I think I know who it was, there's a great big ginger tom across the road that we call Fearless Cat, who is the only ginger on the street, and all the kittens are red so the father must be. I'm keeping my eye on him...

Also, awesome names!
