Who's That Mewing At My Door?

My husband woke me up in the middle of the night on Saturday night/Sunday morning to let me know that there were kittens in our garage. Kittens. We have one cat. He's indoor only. He is a he. He is neutered. And yet - kittens in our garage.

Our neighbors have a cat that we can't seem to keep out of our garage. She will sneak in there sometimes, and get locked in, and then we will kick her out the next day when we discover her. And as you can probably guess, it turns out that she wasn't spayed. She apparently snuck into our garage and had kittens, and then we kicked her out the next day, not realizing what had happened. Cut to 2am when Hubby hears kittens mewing in the garage...

We opened up the garage door so that hopefully Mama Cat would come back to her kittens and in the meantime, got to hold tiny tiny kittens! They were covered in saw dust from my husband's workshop, but otherwise seemed to be doing alright. One white one, one black one, and one gray tabby like Mama Cat. And sadly, a fourth kitten that did not make it.

Mama Cat did find her way back to her babies, and we locked the new family in our garage for the night with some food and water for Mama. In the morning, we let the neighbors know about their grand-kittens, and they relocated the whole bunch back to their house.

What a day.

SPAY AND NEUTER YOUR PETS, PEOPLE!
