Caught
Okay, okay… I KNOW it’s a just a cat and there’s too many already.
My thinking for this is:
This was one of the feral kittens born to feral parent s(an orange tabby and and a grey striped tabby) – Oscar (the orange) was very friendly with me. He lost his mamma as a kitten (spent his kitten hood in our back yard with the little striped tabby). I don’t know where they ‘stayed’, but they came to my backdoor every morning for water and food (they knew I was such a sucker).
The following spring there were four new little faces – this pic was one of them (oh yeah, I’ve hundreds of pics, but I will refrain). I feed all 6 of them all summer, but worried about them over the coming winter (last year). In October we live-trapped them and took them to the shelter where, happily, they all found homes – the kittens were parceled out one at a time (that made me sad) and Oscar and Mama (that’s what we called her) went together to a farm.
Anyway…I thought I would upload this sized for a card only and make half of all sales of this card a donation to the shelter.

I am usually a sucker for any kitten…......their unbridled curiosity and optimism is inspiring, but this little fella is just the bestist looking kitten I have seen!!!! the photograph is magic..
Gracey, 8 months ago
Thank you all. I must admit I too am a sucker for all kitty-pics, but this little face just melts my heart every time I look at her…should’ve kept her, but my own hulking brute would’ve eaten her up in one bite (a 16-lb. ‘nasty cat’, but she’ mine and I love her…and she’s old).
Mundy Hackett, 8 months ago
Gracey thanks for posting this and for sharing the wonderful story, there is a special place for you in my heart! We are definitely kindred spirits!
Gracey, 8 months ago
Thanks – I do love animals of almost all kinds. I feel bad for those who are abandoned.
For anyone who wants to see the rest of the babies this journal entry has a link to a slideshow with them as well as Mama and Oscar.
