Stormie bottle baby 7 04.JPG (25831 bytes) In early 2004, my sister Katie was feeding a stray cat that turned up pregnant.  She had her kittens at the end of April/first of May.  Unfortunately, she was struck by a car and killed when the kittens were about 2 weeks old.  Katie and my mother found the five kittens and raised them on bottles.

In June we moved into our new home and mom, Katie, and James came to help with the move.  Mom brought the three kittens that had yet to be adopted.  As I was considering getting another cat, this was a "trial basis" to see if I liked any of them.  Well, as soon as I got home the first day, Mom opened the carrier she had the kittens in and one of them literally charged up to me, purring like an outboard motor!  And thus, the "trial basis" was ended and I had a new baby boy, Stormie.

mvc-014s.jpg (37540 bytes) I took this picture in December 2004, as Sazin and Stormie were happily snuggled up together against my leg.  What adorable boys!  Sazin is so happy to finally have someone to wrestle and snuggle with!
We have a small colony of feral cats that spent time in our yard. We captured the 1st batch of kittens and have them fixed and released but didn't catch the momma cat. After the 2nd litter of kittens we caught the momma. We kept 2 of the kittens from the 2nd litter
