How regal!

Bombed!
When I put kibble out for the yard cats, I make a point of putting some in a lot of different places, so that more cats have a chance to eat. It gets pretty crowded in the kibble house, and some of the smaller, shier ones end up not getting as much food. Since I want them to get used to the idea of using the cat’s house in the winter, I’ve been putting food just inside the entry, and on the block I have in front.
I spotted one of the pump shack kittens, eating from the block. It is so small, it could barely reach! Of course, I had to try for a picture.
It was just at that moment, that one of the older kittens decided to jump down from the roof and photo bombed the shot!
Just look at that adorable little round belly.
I want to snuggle that baby!

Tasty?
He just can’t resist.
If he isn’t after my nose and chin, he’s after my ears!

Bitty Baby
While going to the pump shack to leave some kibble at the tray by the door, I heard a plaintive little meowing. It was one of Rosencrantz’s white and grey babies, out by the junk pile.
This one.
Not only did it let me pet it, but allowed me to carry it to the kibble house!
Unlike the fuzzy beauty behind it. The girls have been able to lure it close enough to touch, but so far, I haven’t had any luck at all.
What a difference between them. The tabby is from the oldest litter of the year, and the white and grey is from one of the youngest litters. I’d estimate there’s about 4 months between them.

Exploring
I laid the tarp I found in the barn out, to get a better look at it.
It turns out, it’s not a tarp. It’s the roof of the carport I found most of the frame pieces for, in the hayloft of the barn.
The kittens could not get enough of it!
You can see where there are channels that the curved roof supports would run through. All along the left, there is a series of matching, rectangular tears, one of which got duct taped.
I don’t think we can use this to cover that hole in the roof of the shed by the barn. I think we’re going to have to actually buy a large tarp.
For now, however, the kittens can enjoy it.

My morning smiles.
There was one more that ran to me faster then I could include him in the photo. 😊
Even the kittens and cattens that won’t let me near them, like to follow me around in the mornings. 💚

More and more kittens and cattens follow me around while I’m doing my morning rounds.
This one seems to be stalking me! 😄

I got to touch!
Check out the attitude on this guy!
He looks so chill!
Also, he has a stuffy nose.
Or he could be a she. We still don’t know.
BUT!!!
He’s a playful one. While he was on the kibble house roof, I was able to get him to try and catch my wiggling fingers. He was willing to come right up to me and, if I was sneaky about it, I was able rest my other hand on his back. Not quite petting him, but getting him used to being touched by a human. He’d back off at soon as he realized I was touching him, but would come right back to trying to catch my fingers.
Much progress made!

Caught a new one
I managed to get a picture of a new baby.
I believe this is one of two? of Caramel’s litter. Mostly a guess on m part. I’ve only caught glimpses of them, and there was no adult cat around when I got this picture.
I’m just happy the youngest kittens are starting to come to the kibble house for food. Hopefully, they will soon discover the inside of the cats’ house (they already go under it!) as a safe and warm place to be.

Judgement
Most of the yard kittens don’t have names.
The girls have come up with a name for one of them.
Judgement.
Because he always looks like he’s judging things!
