Baby Kitten

About a year and a half ago the family that lived across the street became victims to the latest of house repo. When they left they left behind some kittens and one of them came over to our house and would climb our front window screen and sit on our pouch and cry. It would even sneek into the house when it could get in. After a week or so I talked to John and I told him it broke my heart as I knew that cat was hungry. We are not suppose to have cat/dogs in the house so we decided we would get some cat food and start feeding the cat. Well, the cat then got named by the kids and then was known as "Star". All though we do not more then feed her we know she is essentially our cat now. One day a few months ago we noticed she was putting on the pounds to which we knew that she must be having kittens. We then went three days about two months ago were we did not see her and she was not coming and eating her food. We did not know if she had run off or had been a victim of the road. On the fourth day she showed up skinny beyond skinny and looking for some food. We knew she had obviously had kittens but we did not know where (as we only see her in the morning when she ready to eat). We looked around our property and never found them. Yesterday morning when John opened the door she ran in like she always does but he said he saw a flash of something else run in under the couch. He went over and looked under to find a kitten. The kitten is very scared of us and will not come near us, but gladly takes the meal liker her mother. The kids have named him/her (we do not know what gender yet) "Scaredy Cat". And yes we will not take care of both and after pay day "Star" and "Scaredy Cat" if we can catch the kitten will go into the vet to have their shots and be fixed. They will have to continue to be outside cats but hopefully we will cut down on more cats!
