A few weeks ago, one of our neighbors' kids brought home a cat that somebody else had had as a pet, and didn't want it anymore. I'm sure the story has grown legs, but apparently the original owner was about to dump it somewhere, and our neighbor's kid had rachmonus on the thing and brought it home.
Problem 1: she didn't clear it with her parents. So she wasn't allowed to keep it in the house, and it started wandering from house to house in our complex, picking up whatever scraps it could beg or steal.
Problem 2: it started becoming apparent after a week or two that either this cat had been eating really well, or it had a few buns in the oven. On shabbos a week ago we settled that question; it lay down in our next-door neighbors' garden and proceeded - much to the delight of a capacity crowd of local children, and much to the chagrin of the family whose garden was serving as the grandstand - to deliver six teeny tiny (and very cute) little kittens. (One has since died; the remaining 5 look pretty strong.)
Problem 3: Now this cat has officially adopted our complex as its home, and she is becoming more and more emphatic about her rights to whatever any household happens to be eating, cooking or defrosting at any given time. This past shabbos she had the chutzpah to take advantage of our open front door to sneak up to our second floor, and one by one she deposited her kittens on the pull-out bed in our 2nd bedroom.
Now the neighbors are growing restless, and this cat is fast becoming felix non gratus...
Are there any cat lovers out there? There are 5 really cute kittens just waiting for a good home. My daughter got very excited about them and went and took a bunch of photos, just so you can see that they really are cute. If you want the mommy, too, you can have them all now; if you just want a kitten, we'll hand them out as soon as they don't need their mother anymore. (Incidentally, does anyone know offhand what age that is?)
