Here are some photos taken 2 or 3 weeks ago of the cat family out the back: Miss C, Baby C, No. 1, and Bruiser, and their Uncle Bro Cat.
On our way to work we pass 2 families of half grown cats in the same street - 1 litter of 3 with a stripy Mum, and another of just 2 with a brindled (or tortoiseshell) Mum.
All 5 kittens are Baby Tiggers. The family of 3 are identical beautifully striped grey and black tiny Tiggers. They are too cagey and too quick for us to capture them in a photo. The other 2 are one striped and one 'blotched' tabby in colours more akin to my beige and black colour scheme. They are all (ALL) cagey critturs but F finally managed to capture photos of the latter 2 playing on a street corner in the early morning.

ReplyDeleteAwww that last shot is an absolute winner!!! Hugs and whiskeries, YAM-aunty xxx
F thinks they're really 'cute baby tiggers'....(eye roll) xxx Mr T
DeleteWhat a lot of cats!
ReplyDeleteThis IS Greece...
Deleteagree with yam on that last capture of the babies. they are all so precious and look like they are a happy bunch.
ReplyDeleteThe stripey ones are very cute, but haven't they got looong toes!
Deletemy son had one that looks like these stripey ones, he was so wild they named him Jessie James after the famous american robber.
DeleteNo Beau doesnt swallow the pieces of the ball, he spits them on the floor and I pick them up. the ball lives in the closet and he only gets it if i am standing by watching. it will go in the trash soon. I hate that because it cost me 20.00 and i don't buy things for him to tear up. I am way to frugal for that. I mistakenly thought he would play with it if i kicked it. NOT. the cell phone does really well in bright sun but I can't see the screen to tell what I am getting, i do it blind and come inside and view. getting pretty good at blind shots.
Do they envy your luxury, or call you "softy"?
ReplyDeleteThey are really curious about my "wheels". At their age I dont think they'd swap places but a few more years of scavenging on streets and things change. They wouldn't mind regular meals and being free of fleas and ear mites (even if the treatments are, briefly, worse than the affliction).
Deleteawwww lots of kitties, they would get so spoilt here.
ReplyDeleteI would say the kitten at the front (last photo) is going to be long lean and lanky when grown. Long tailed as well! Nothing like the wonderfully handsome Tigger💕
ReplyDeleteAll Greek cats seem to have tails like rapiers (or a giraffe's neck). Mine probably has the same number of bones but it seems to be about half the length with a lot more meat and fur and a rounded end. I like my tail. So do my humans. They keep telling me what a great tail I have. It's tail envy isn't it?
DeleteYou come from a very large family, Tigger! It seems there are lots of tiggers around the world. An aunt of mine used to have lots of Farmland Tiggers that would come to her for feeding but fled from anybody else (especially us children!).
ReplyDeleteSo many kitties
ReplyDeleteAre the numbers falling since people have been sterilising the strays?
It’s lovely how everyone feeds them at least you won’t have mice and rat plagues
Like we did in NSW
We don't know about the effect on numbers but we seem to have seen fewer sickly ones with gunky eyes this year.
