But the babies would play together if the mamas let them. I have one short video where a kitten and a kit are playing while the mama is otherwise occupied.Rianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09472421271620543536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6076673433792968099.post-71094070782835679332016-07-11T19:25:51.081-07:002016-07-11T19:25:51.081-07:00Happy Birthday Rian and to your DH too!.

And there are days when there are just as many raccoons...

They didn't show up around in our yard until their mom's brought them at about 6-8 weeks. We do belong to the "catch and release" program, but haven't had much luck lately. And we used to catch the kittens before 6 weeks and take them to the Adoption Room at our local shelter, but lately the shelter is so full we've heard that they were putting animals down.

Ah to be 71 again. I use to smile about my grandmother. No one knew her age till she hit 90 then she got quite proud of it. <br />I didn't realize you had that many feral cats. Mercy. Don't know if you have one there but there are groups that will capture, spay/ neuter and release ferals.

I say celebrate every day, no matter what your age, because none of us knows how long we'll be granted on this earth.<br /><br />BTW, you have a lot of ferals!
