So our outdoor mamacat was waiting for us when we got home from work last night... with a surprise. She had two little fuzzballs with her, one orange, one gray. The kittens were much more skittish, but they're definitely big enough to eat solid food now, which is probably why she brought them along. Managed to pet both of them last night, but when we tried to catch them to bring them inside, they wouldn't come close enough.

So this morning I put out food inside the cat carrier, and managed to snag them both, along with Summer, the mamacat (who we suspect might be pregnant again, oy). All three of them are safely ensconced in our back bathroom, and seem to be adjusting just fine. The plan is to get them to the vet and have Summer fixed and the kittens at least given their shots. As much as I love kitties, this has to be a temporary solution. We are NOT up to being a six-cat-household. Hopefully we can find homes for them. Worst case, I'm ok with releasing Summer back outside once she's been spayed. She's not quite two years old, and obviously able to handle herself outside. The babies, though, they should have homes of their own.
