Cat of the Month—Mama Cat
May 27th, 2009
Just squeaking this in before the end of the month—Mama Cat seemed like the perfect cat for the month that has Mother’s Day. She is not technically our cat, she’s the neighborhood cat. She’’s a beautiful dark tortoiseshell kitty with a peach colored bib over her chin and throat.
When she first showed up a couple years ago, Mama Cat was extremely wary and I couldn’t get near her. Now she trusts me and will actually roll over for the occasional belly rub. When I’m outside in the garden, she’s a good companion, taking a mild interest in whatever I’m doing and enjoying a good chin rub. She keeps up an easy conversation of whispery meows and purrs. She obviously enjoys life and kneads her paws up and down to show it. She currently has a litter of six kittens who will be weaned soon and then she’ll be off to the vet’s to be spayed and vaccinated. I hope to find homes for her kittens and ideally a home for her as well.
