The life of a kitten is simple - eating, sleeping, sneaking, and fighting. Occasionally they decide to test their skills on mama. She plays along for a moment, and then she swiftly ends it. Still much to learn fierce Padawan.
This isn't Little Joey, but my former female ginger kitty originally named "Jingo", which I adopted from our previous vet, years before I had Joey.
Baby Kat was my first real pet and I loved the way she was devoted to me. It's fairly easy to differentiate between Baby Kat and Little Joey - she had a white lower muzzle and chest and her ginger fur was ruddy instead of striped like Joey's.
Back in July 2009, Baby Kat was at the prime of her health. She wasn't a year old and had yet to begin to show early signs of Feline Infectious Peritonitis which eventually killed her. 😔
Once in a while, I can't help wondering if I hadn't changed her name to Baby Kat, Jingo would have lived to this very day. 😐

Since our neighbor gifted us a mountain of mulch from a tree removal, I've been trying to put in some time every day weeding and mulching a long-neglected area in our yard. Camille loves to be outside, rain or shine, but a lot of that time is solitary (as far as I know). Lately, she appears out of nowhere whenever I am working in the garden. Camille wiggles and rolls and pulls herself along until she is in the middle of what I am doing. If my hands weren't covered with with wet Georgia red clay, I could pet her a lot more easily.
A progression of the cat facilities V0, V1, and V2.
V0 was clearly too small and didn't offer ease of access for mama or prevent escape of adventurous babes.
V1 offered more space, easier entry, and a removable roof. But even sitting on the patio under a roof overhang, it didn't fully protect from wind and rain and mama howled at the door to inform that her house was wet.
V2 is a proper house, but as quickly as the kittens were placed inside the swanky digs, Natasha marched in and dragged them back out.
Doh.
Finally we arrived at a compromise and removed the floor and placed the house on top of the box. Perhaps compromising the structural integrity, and sacrificing some of the square footage, but that is a battle for a different day.
Mission accomplished.

Once upon a time...
I used to feed a mama cat in my neighborhood, then she had two kittens and we named them Boris and Natasha. I was waiting to take everyone to the vet for sterilization until it was obvious that they were no longer nursing, but then *poof* she was pregnant again, and COVID stay at home was in effect, and then the female kitten was pregnant too. Sigh. Biology is so inconvenient.
Fast forward approximately 60 days.
She wasn't that big, and I had not been rigorously counting days to know that she was due, but one day Natasha showed up crying outside of normal meal time, and a shortly after there was a tiny and repetitive squeak of a tiny kitten in the dirt outside my front door.
As a side note, there are endless stray cats here, and I've fed many mama cats, but I NEVER see newborn kittens, and only rarely do I see the older kittens join their mama touring the neighborhood. I've never known if this means that the kittens are eaten by one of the many predators or adopted by loving families, but either way, to have a newborn kitten on my front step was shocking.
Back to the story - We put together a box and took her and kitten 1 to the back yard. A short time later kitten 2 arrived and Natasha transformed into a natural mama cat doing all the important things.
So here we are with Natasha and two kittens living in our back yard. What an unexpected and wonderful distraction from month 11 of stay at home.
Here's Joey's companion (Mr Grumpy) in the hospital ward, giving me a warning to stay away. He's actually a very large and handsome cat and I felt very sorry for his condition.
Having to wear a large E-collar while recovering from bad diarrhea and vomiting, plus having to eat crappy hospital food must have been a poor experience for this kitty.
Edit: I found out that Bimi (the cat's name) would try to bite at the IV needle stuck to his paw, so the vets had no choice but to put that plastic collar on him.
