Recently, we found out that we have a feral cat colony living in our woods. We started to keep a record of the cats that we saw and started to feed them on our deck. Our original count was eleven, but since then, one has been hit by a car and one has disappeared. With the help of the Knoxville Feral Cat Friends ( KFCF), we have started a trap, neuter and release program. So far, four of our little furry friends have been fixed and given shots. Our little gray tabby friend has never been seen again since he was neutered.( I wonder why?!?)

| Our little uninvited guests! |
One of our favorites is a little long-haired calico named Puff who has given us a wee little surprise. We had a cat carrier on our deck and it was raining. On Saturday, April 23rd, Erin noticed that Puff was in the carrier. When we looked closer, we saw blood on the towel. We quietly closed the door, trapping her inside. When we took her into the bathroom, we saw that she had two teensy weensy kittens with her! Before it was all over, Puff had given birth to five beautiful kittens. She had two dark calicos, two grays, and one orange. We are fostering the momma and kittens until they can be put up for adoption. Puff will then be spayed and returned to the colony as she is completely wild. She is the last girl in the colony to be spayed, so hopefully, there will be no more babies born in the wild.
