At the end of July, we returned from vacation and noticed a new black & white cat using our patio to get from Point A to Point B. At that time, we weren't sure what Point A or Point B actually were, but we were to find out soon.
The cat was skinny, with hip bones visible and no width at all. Very skittish, she didn't want to be approached.
Then, we saw... the two striped kittens with white feet and white on their faces. They were just about as skittish as mom, but if we sat on the step or on the patio and stayed very quiet, they would approach - as long as we didn't make any sudden moves.
We still weren't sure where they all came from or where they were going, but after awhile, we noticed that "home" was under our furnace unit at the side of the house and under our garden shed. We didn't feed them, thinking they must belong somewhere else.
Soon we found that were just the second home. The neighbors two doors down said they were born under their shed and now were leaving on their front porch and in a box in their driveway. We offered to help with vet bills to get them fixed and vaccinated. They said they would take care of that once the kittens were a little older. Mama kitty stopped coming around as much as the kittens grew older and we thought everything was fine. Hmmm.
