I’ve spotted the torti at a distance, just the other day – I’m sure it was it. The mother had them stashed under our bungalow, giving birth while we were gallivanting around in NSW. I rounded them up and gave them to their oblivious owner down the road who said he was taking them to the animal welfare people. I was pretty sure he wouldn’t. No snakes or rodents within cooee of his place! 🙂
They reckon it happens. There’s this big horrible looking boof-headed black-and-white thing comes around when they’re on heat. Plus a fluffy tabby and the resident ginger tom.
No. I started feeding them inside a dog-training cage before they were weaned. I organised their owner to pick them up before I shut the door on them. They went berserk! A second mummy cat went in with them, trying to feed the kittens – she’s had her first litter and I think she’d had a single living kitten by her used nipples, but it must have died for she started feeding these half-siblings. She was the ginger tabby, would let you pick her up, but dangerous as she’d run and head-butt your legs – an accident waiting to happen! I was sorry to see her go but can’t have unlimited wild cats running around here.
Your right, it’s not safe for humans and also local fauna. Good to have a domestic cat, but smart to have it neutered, wish people would be a bit more responsible. Terrible when you see a mangled bird that has been caught by a cat.
They are, of course, ADORABLE ! That torti is going to be breathtaking (even though I have a terrifically soft spot for marmalade tabbies ..)

They’re so cute! Wild cats then? When calm and resting they look so…calm, lol. Were they difficult to catch?
