But they still won’t let me touch them.

Birds and squirrels are not the only things visiting our feeder!

The babies are getting so big!
I love when they are at the fence by the road. Such gorgeous animals.
On a side note, when the time comes to replace our fences, this is kinda what I want to have. Pressure treated wood posts, and a steel wire mesh, rather than the barbed wire we have always had. It’ll cost a pretty penny, but will last much longer, look better, and be more secure.

Lately, they fly away as soon as I get near the camera. This time, it hung around to watch me take its picture. :-)

There are some exposed roots that the kittens love to just sit on.


It must be warmer on the butt or something. :-D

He (she?) may be tiny, but she is mighty!

Once spring arrived, most of the outside cats just seemed to disappear. Butterscotch and Beep are around all the time, of course, since their kittens are here. Rolando Moon comes around fairly regularly. Nasty Crime Boy joined us a couple of times when we were doing cook outs, but we haven’t seen him in ages.
Then, there is the elusive The Hand.

She just slinks in and out, once in a while. I happened to be at the living room window, by the tripod, when I saw her go by and barely managed to get a picture!
She is just a beauty, and so very shy!

Got a bunch of short kitten videos for you to enjoy!
The first three were taken today.
Butterscotch and her kittens – with a cameo from Rolando Moon.
Beep Beep does love climbing trees! None of the others quite match her – though one of her babies is trying!
Trying to convince a kitten that the big, scary human is really okay. A few times, it would stretch out, snuffle my fingertip, then hiss at it! :-D
This next video was taken a few days ago.
Those bright, bright eyes! :-D

While doing my evening walk around the yard, I ended up spending almost an hour, near the kittens. I had brought out some cat food, and refilled the old pot that I am using for water near the garden shed, then just hung out.
So did the mosquitoes.
It was worth it.

Butterscotch’s kittens love an exposed root, sitting on it or stretching themselves out along its length. So I put a bit of cat kibble on it.
There are only two in this photo, but for a while, both calico/trourties, and the teeny tabby, where eating with their mom. The bigger tabby showed up later.

Beep Beep’s kittens enjoyed some kibble, too, but weren’t too sure about my being nearby! So they hid under one of the old car seat/benches.
I suppose it’s a good thing we aren’t planning to clear this junk away anytime soon, because they love climbing all over it.
Speaking of climbing…

That little tuxedo takes after it’s mother!
I took some video, too, and am uploading it right now. I’ll include those in another post. :-)

Aside from a day after it had been cold enough that I closed the window for the night, our tree frog friend has continued to return every morning to it’s spot in the kitchen window.

I just want to touch the round, squishy belly! :-D
