Another Storm Watch

After I disturbed breakfast last week, we didn't see hide nor hair of Stormy's babies. With a sigh of relief, we were sure she had taken her babies to a much quieter and safer location.

She did, she moved them over to our neighbors with the chickens.

Chicken neighbors weren't so happy either.

In fact, they thought they were our kittens. Ummmm, no. I have miles and miles of stretch marks, but they ain't from kittens.

Turns out, chicken neighbors have really bad allergies to cats.

So who do you think reappeared in our fountain garden?

Yup...


Cloudy



Snowy and...


Rainy.

I did try and sneak outside so that I could shoot just kitten and not dirty window screen, then kitten. But as soon as they saw me they ran for cover under the safety of the water barrels.

The little fatheads.

Wish they weren't so cute. I have no problem annihilating the stinkin' mosquitoes that have moved in as well.

Later that evening...


I thought the kittens had retreated for the evening, but after about an hour or so I looked out the window, and there was Stormy serving up dinner. She's a good little mommy and knows exactly where her babies are.


Now the babies are pissed because they look forward to their evening meal, and momma has shut down the kitchen.

So sorry kids. Time to find a job and get your own meals I guess. Did anybody tell you about the great mousing field on the other side of the chicken house?

Maybe the children house next door will throw out their left overs?


Before moving on, Stormy gave me one last really dirty look and a hiss.

Storm watch

Just as I was leaving for work this morning, I discovered Stormy (momma kitty) serving up breakfast for her babies Snowy, Cloudy and Rainy.

Judging by the mess of feathers she's left, somebody is getting something nutritious.

She was rather miffed with me for taking her picture with the flash.

In my defense, I have never even gotten close to them. All photos have been taken from the inside, either through a screen or two layers of glass.

Even made me a little late for work, I HAD to take a picture.


They were no where in sight at noon or after we got home this evening. Maybe I made Stormy mad enough to move them to one of our neighbors yards. Yards without dogs and cameras.

They've sure been entertaining though.

What part of GREYHOUND Gardens don't you understand

This is Trouble. Two years ago he camped out in our front yard, just on the other side of the fence. Close enough to drive the dogs crazy, far enough for safety.

When I sent the picture to a friend, she asked me if this rabbit had a suicide wish. Honestly, I didn't know for sure.

Fast forward to last Wednesday.

Just like always I came home for lunch to run the dogs. All of a sudden they were going nuts at the same front fence. A big part of me feared that Trouble had come back.

Well, not exactly.


Meet Snowy.


This is Snowy and her brother Cloudy.


This is Snowy and her brother Cloudy and her other brother Rainy.

I've seen momma running around. She's dumped her kittens in one of our front gardens. These photos were taken from the safety of our laundry room window.

They're wild, wilder and wildest.

What the hell do we do now?
