Update for those who remember the bottle babies...

Not actually about the bottle babies, tho they turned 2 last October, but about their mother. Now, I think I mentioned that the mother was a long haired, feral cat at my client's apartment complex. 2 years ago, I saw a big kitten (who rather looked like Sox did) wandering around the complex. Well, the other day I was walking over to get the mail and I spotted the mother. I haven't seen any kittens this year or last year, so I don't know if she didn't have any or they died in the extreme heat. I talked to her and she glared at me (well, it seems that is the ONLY look a feral cat will give a human). I leaned over and tried to see if her ear was "notched". I didn't see it, so I don't know, but rather doubt, that she has been spayed. But while I used to see her often 2 years ago when the babies were found, I have only seen her seldom for the last year. I know she's got to be over 3 years old, since before the 2 yr old bottle babies there was the older kitten. I do know that the single kitten was probably the ONLY one who survived that litter, so that out of the kittens that were found we raised, having 4 survive was good. I hope that the mom hasn't been having and losing litters of kittens, but at least she is alive and not looking in too bad a condition. So, when I see her, I think of those babies. I bet Ari is as big and fluffy as his mother, and Sox (now Mia) is a sweet fluffy big girl. And Skippy is still a handsome tabby fellow and Blaze is an adorable bold boy.
