Sep. 29, 2007 - The Crazy Cat Lady!
So we have all heard of a crazy cat lady, you know the one with 30 cats and a big floppy hat! Well, if I had a big floppy hat, it would be me!
We have had our share of cats and cat drama, here is a brief history of how it all happened.
1. It all started with Socks and Peaches, we got them from some friends.
2. Socks left.
3. Peaches had kittens, 3 to be exact so we were up to 4 cats.
4. A stray showed up and ate but was later kicked out of the neighborhood! (He was mean!)
5. Then we gave away one of the kittens and had 3 cats left!
6. One day we came home and all of the kittens were gone, so we were back to just having Peaches!
7. SO then we had a stray and her baby show up, they eat tons of food, but are wild so they can't really be pets! We have tried to catch them no luck yet!
8. Angelica got the kitten that we gave away and has since returned it.
Up until today we had 2 cats, Peaches and her kitten Chocolate, and the 2 strays that drive me crazy. Well last week I noticed that Peaches was somewhat like me, growing wider in middle and sort of grouchy. In the last week she had doubled in size and seemed to be again like me, hot and miserable!
Last night I noticed she was missing and when I called tonight she came running. She had her babies, and proceeded to eat like horse. So she returned to underneath the storage building where I can assume that our cat population has probably at least doubled!
It will probably be a couple of weeks until Miss Peaches shows off her babies and we can tell just many cats we have. I do not intend to continue "blessing" the neighborhood with cats. As soon as the kittens are big enough and we can catch the strays, hopefully we will find some good homes!

We had outdoor cats all my childhood years - there were many that came and went and a few faithful mama's who stayed several years.... kittens were always so fun to have around! Hope Peaches and her new brood are doing well.

Hey! What a nice laugh this Sunday morning....just what I needed!
I, also, wanted to apologize for not sending the carseat home with Jay, yesterday. If anyone comes for Daniel's party, we'll send it with them. If not, we'll bring it up there (and maybe meet you in Tifton for supper on the 14th?) on our way to Atlanta. We're going to go ahead and buy one for Hannah. She's such a pipsqueak and still falls asleep in it. I'm going to wash the fabric, so it will be nice a ready for Becca! Again, I'm so sorry!
Love,
Laura
