We were feeding her in the wild ........ a very pregnant young female. She disappeared for 48 hours on Friday 1st August and turned up very hungry and much thinner! We didn't see the kittens at all and were afraid that she had lost them (we were in the middle of a 40 degree heatwave at the time).
Then suddenly Blossom arrived at our house with two kittens in tow - about a week ago. They have taken up residence in our basement, playing and hiding in the wood store. They are doing fine - eating solids and getting braver and braver by the day.
Today, imagine my surprise when, as I went out of the house, I saw Blossom, the mum with a THIRD kitten. She had just got him onto our driveway but he scurried off as soon as he saw me into the vineyard opposite. He's back now on the driveway calling for his Mum, hopefully he will make it down to the basement and find his brothers/sisters!
From the top, Blossom, Bagpuss, Bingo and Bailey - the newest arrival!
