Where there's One, there's More...
We kinda knew...we kinda suspected...when a cat shows up on your doorstep with only one kitten, you kinda wonder...most cats don't have litters of one - there are 3-5...sometimes the other kitties don't live, or they are picked up by kindly strangers...Last night we managed to snag the orange baby and bring him and his mom Bette Davis indoors...it was loud, the baby screamed like I've never heard before..Bette freaked out and ran after Brian down the hall...his left hand looks like its been thru the grinder, but he's ok...
Its 60 outside, lovely, and I have the door open...I hear a kitten crying and my first thought is 'oh, please let it be the orange baby in the office'...but of course, its not...Brian peers thru our backfence to see TWO kittens- one is all black, the other is black and white...about the same age as the orange one...great...
So, we've got a trap set w/ wet food and are waiting...I saw the black one nibble bits of wet food off the front of the trap where I put it to lure it inside, but of course he hasn't gone inside...we put a towel down to encourage them to go in, but now its a waiting game...and of course, the dog is SO excited to have kittens outside, she's going nuts...she's whimpering and even barking because she really does love kittens...and not as snacks, no...Brian is working from home, so he's here to help..I only hope we can catch these two sooner rather than later...having no mom to feed them might be of help, maybe they'll come out and try to get something to eat...we can only hope...
Back to my normal life, everything else is going well...more beads were made yesterday, and I have at least 3 more days of working to finish everything...Someone asked if I would be giving ya'll notice of the next time I open 'the store', and just so everyone knows - YES! I will give you advance notice on when I'll have beads ready for order...I think i'm gonna take a few days/weeks to make some other stuff in the meantime, maybe stock my Etsy store with some strands again, but I will have more Ready for Pickins again...i'm just ready to play at the torch and make a few things I want to make...I can feel the need...

Bless your hearts for taking care of all the little kitties. They are so lucky to have found you. Goodness is headed your way, I'm sure!
Thanks!
