Well Stinky doesn’t share me with anyone. She is Miss Priss and she insists on having me all to herself. She is asleep on this desk right now. GrayBaby loves everyone but he thinks Gary, my son, is his parent so he still loves Gary best. Squirt always loved my daughter, Michelle, the most so she went to live in Austin with Michelle. She was about 4 or 5 weeks old when we found her and Michelle bottle fed her. Sambo was about 1.5 week old and about 6 oz. I bottle fed him.

I have an all black cat too, names Peeps. She has one white whisker and a little splotch of white hairs on her neck.

It's called Spring a.k.a. kitten season!

Cats go into heat when the weather starts to turn warm and then about 2 months later there's a whole lotta kittens in every animal shelter. I tried to adopt a kitten last winter and there wasn't one to be had. I got a rescue cat in March who is probably between one and two (I think closer to one because she behaves much like a kitten). But in winter there are no kittens!

So to review:

Cold weather = no kittens

Warm weather = tons o kittens

Now that the starlets are crediting Global Warming for NO underwear in 2007, just wait to see what the next 10 years brings/loses.

I lived in Clute-Lake Jackson with my grandmother for a couple of years. My niece and her family still live there. Small world.
