Hello catlovers it has been a busy week in the Cat World. I got a call the other day that several of the ferals that live on the property who I feed were making littles in the front of the BOQ so I went over to see my friends the cats and their new cat kids. I think three cat moms gave birth over the last week. I counted a total of 18 children though I did not photograph every one because several of them were sequestered amongst the cactii and succulents where one of the catmothers safely hid away to pop them all out. I hope you all enjoy seeing my new friends.

This mom is the cat I named Snagglebroth

this little cat has a misshapen head. I named him, Melon Head
He's just a little baby boy. I named him Haunted Sears Mannequin but a lot of the cats have this same coloration so I will probably forget who is who among these colored cats.
This is the cat that I named, Ploppy - The Living Cookie
Warm Ploppy. This cat was brought inside the lobby of the BOQ because he was the only one that was still shivering even in the warm blanket I put outside. Ploppy is a runt and has a brother runt cat that I have not named yet. Together, they are The Cookie Twins.

This is how much wet food I usually buy per week just for the cats who hang around the BOQ (I leave this food here and then have my own stash at home nearby that I give to the cats that hang out over there). Feeding and caring for these cats is my favorite hobby.
This is one of the cats that actually came from inside the perimeter, I rescued him at a few weeks old but his back was broken and he could not move at all for two weeks. I rehabilitated him and he walks perfect now, though he sits like this instead of like a normal cat. This cat now lives with my mom and her cats.
a nest of fat little birds that live directly over The Cat Corner. I bet the cats will eventually find a way to eat some of these birds.
I am going to take some of the weaker/stranger looking ones like Melon Head to the vet tomorrow or Friday but the land here is basically one big massive farm/wilderness and it is just a sad fact that several of them simply won't live for very long. We have coyotes and dog-sized raccoons and rattlesnakes and massive hawks and eagles and all specie of nasty mammaliae. There has been a large community of feral cats out here since the 1960's. All I can do is give them nice food and occasional company and vet visits when I can manage it or if there is a clear emergency, and I do. It makes me happy.
