And someday when I'm really old, I'll have the whole yard set up with perfect winter shelters and summer condos, the best food waiting, expert knowledge on every possible medical emergency (because they always happen on a Sunday morning or on July 3rd...and strays always show up on Christmas Eve or during the worst blizzard of the century...), and I will be proud to be called a crazy cat lady ....

Here is the baby white kitty on my porch ! She is so cute and chubby !

And her mama was looking at me and softly closing her eyes....I think someone said that means " I love You " in kitty speak !

The mama and baby are going to get fat with me around ! I don't want to ever see them skinny again ...

Last night I baked some chicken and since they live right on my porch , I brought some out and can now watch them gobble up dinner.

Plus, I keep a plate of regular dry cat food for them.

The baby still runs from me , her cute little chubby furry body running for her cat mama...

It's okay now because when I call * Kitty Food * mama comes running down the hill and right to my porch !

I somehow lost track here...how many cats are there now? The mama, the baby, and snowflake? Or is Snowflake the baby? Are there two or three or more...
I'm not trying to be funny, I'm just honestly confused now about who is who and how many cats are on the porch/in the woods.

Help, please...

Ulri, there are three ! The mama , the baby kitten and a 6 month old. I too was confused and only saw mama and the baby but then the other white cat came along. I think its mama's other older baby. ( They are all pure white ) She must be a good mama because they are still devoted to her.

I wished I had my cell phone camera with me because the baby was climbing up on the porch , stopped and looked at me and she is sooo cute ! ( That is her in the latest picture )

Aaahh!! O.K., now I gotcha! I have honestly never seen a cat this white before! And is the mama also still this white? My Suzie , a Siamese Mix, was very white when she was little, but the grey/beige tabby coloring was already noticeable close up, now at almost 5 years no-one would say she is white, more grey/biege, yeah, mama was a slender Siamese Mix and daddy was a big old grey tabby tom.
O.K., I'm looking forward to the updates on your feline family!!
