The Love Bandit

Observation by Mom

There is nothing so sweet than when Mommie Mommie approaches me, says her sweet "meow" and then raises up on her hind legs for me to pick her up and hold her so she can cuddle and nuzzle.

The Arrival.

Mommie Mommie showed up for a feeding and stayed a couple of days. I noticed she was “plump” so I assumed she was a newbie in the neighborhood checking out the feeding stations. We’re cat friendly in this area. She left and did not come back so I thought she went home. A few weeks later, I am rushing to leave the house. As usual, I trying to find my keys to leave the house=running late for work. I open the backdoor and thank God I looked at the top step. Mommie Mommie is sitting right outside the door with her 3 kittens. I was so honored but yet surprised that she brought her babies to me. I thought she had a home. I prepared an area for the Mommie and the babies under the carport. There they thrived. I placed two of the kittens up for adoption with a pet shop that “sold” the kittens because I was told that free kittens were not valued. I was told that if people pay for kittens, they generally will value, take care of the kittens. The pet shop also issued a certificate for free “spaying/neutering” of the kittens to the owners when the kittens were old enough. Anyway, the black long-haired kitten and the tortise shell that looked like Mommie Mommie found homes easily. Unfortunately (?) The pet shop owner where I put the kittens up for adoption declared one of the kittens “unadoptable” because he was JUST a plain yellow tabby. We kept him and his mother. His momma is named “Mommie Mommie” and the plain yellow tabby is named “Baby Baby.” We also call him “Hero” because he saved our lives. That incredible story to follow.
