My sister had some feral cats in her barn. They were really wild and would run away if a human came anywhere near the garage. One day she saw one of the cats in the garage doorway and she was meowing frantically and staring right at my sister. She said the cat didn’t run as usual and seemed to be trying to get her attention. She went in the barn to see what the problem was. They had a loft in there with a lot of stuff stored and there was some old tires among the junk. Anyway the cat had some kittens up there and they had went inside one of the tires and couldn’t get out and the mama couldn’t get them out so she conquered her fear of humans and went looking for help. My sister got the babies out and took the tires down so they couldn’t get trapped again. She said the mama cat was just purring while she was getting the kittens out. But anyway after that the cat went back to being wild again. But I thought that was a very selfless act of love for her kittens for that mama cat to conquer her fear in order to save her babies.

I have four cats now, three of which are related. Spunky is them other, and G.W. "Dubya" (male) and Whitey (female) are her kittens. She had a third but he passed on in 2006, his name was Greystone. I saw Spunky and her three kittens in my headlights as I pulled up to the garage. We kept them outside for a while and after a few days, they were gone. I went looking for them, I was crying and a day and a half later, I found them next door. We were going to take them in. I told Spunky, "I'm going to take your kittens into my basement and then I'll comeback for you." She believed me, I took the kittens, dropped them off inside and got her and took her in. She trusted me and I am very grateful. Spunky and G.W. are grey and white cats, with a grey hood on their heads and Spunky has a dark spot on her nose. Whitey looks like a fat Siamese or a Snowshoe. Well, we just have four cats, the family and Rascal, who fits in well.

Hummmmmmmmmm. My mostly silent and usually haughty kitty just ran up to me and demanded to be picked up. I wonder if she was wanting to send a tribute to Scarlett. Interesting.

Contrary to popular opinion, cats are very loving and intellegent. I have a Siamese looking cat named Smokey. He is the most loving creature I have ever seen. I’m glad your kitties made it ok.
