They're BAAA-AAAAAACK!!

We took our little cat family next door this past Saturday since we were going to be gone for the weekend and then taking care of business — buying our new house! — on Monday.

Getting them over there was a feat in itself. The mother had moved them out of their box in the laundry room and put them over by the washing machine. If they weren't going to have to go anyway, they sure were on account of that. I just put them back in their box and took them next door. Next step was getting the mother cat over there, and that didn't go very well since the neighbors have several dogs, both inside and outside the house. After several scratches and some help from the neighbors, we got her back together with her babies.

Things went well at the neighbor's house over the weekend, I was told. The mother cat allowed another cat (her friend boy) and the dogs in the box and a child was allowed to play with the kittens, but she didn't care for another one of the children to even be in the room. At least she didn't try to move them all over the house.

The neighbors brought them back yesterday morning, and I just set the box out on the carport. The mother cat immediately started trying to move them back into the house, and she got one little one in the house. I put it back outside with the others, and she put it in between the wood and screen door. After a while I put it back where it belonged, and she left them in the box then.

During the night it stormed and turned chilly, so my husband put a towel (one of the good ones, of course) over the box for warmth. They're still outside, all together, warm and cuddly.
