Okay the strangest thing happened the day after I put my sweet Zoey to sleep. I came home and my neighbor told me that there was three kittens living under my back deck. I caught just a glimpse of two of them really just for a few seconds. I called my vet, and she told me to buy them kitten milk replacement formula and to feed them kitten food softened up in the milk.

So I did, and I put some of Zoey's food out in case the mother cat was under the deck as well. According to the vet the kitten milk is really good for the mother, it helps her to produce more milk. I’ve now seen the mother cat a couple of times, buts she’s very frightened of people. I hoping to build her trust and be able to bond with her over time. She looks just like the first cat I had as a child, Charlie... Squeeze…

She had the kittens out in the back of the yard sleeping in a flower bed of irises this afternoon. OF course she was too far away to really see the kittens, but I could just make out one of their little heads that popped up when I was watering my garden. I can’t wait until I can hold and pet them, but it seems like that’s a long way off. The mother, whom I think of as Sunshine, runs away when she sees me and I’m closer to her than twenty feet. So of course I can’t get close enough to take her picture, but here's one I download that looks like her…

Isn't it strange that the universe brings me new kitties, while I’m morning the loss of my sweet Zoey…

I really had hoped so too... But she only stayed under the deck a few days, then she moved her kittens. I've been feeding her, so she still comes around about once a day. I guess that's all I can do is try and provide her with food and water...

She's still very stand-offish and I doubt that she's going to change. So I guess its not meant to be, its out of my control. So I guess this means that my new kitty is still out there waiting until the right time...

That's a shame but at least you making sure she has food and water will ensure she can feed her kittens.

Yeah, I do feel good about helping her out... I just wish she wasn't so frightened of me...
