What a cruel world we live in,

Three days ago I found a pregnant feral cat along with a very handsome and may I say very well fed non feral cat. (Pictured)

And today I found a unrelated little kitty who again was friendly and both dive into the Meow Mix I brought.
He is pictured here

That people just dump cats out in the winter is really disgusting.
Please know I will feed these babies and maybe even try to keep the small one as he might be a pal to Cuddles.

Here is a good picture of the youngster

I so hope the people who do this get their fill of Karma.

Well now, he followed me home and Cuddles begrudgingly let him? Her? Not sure yet. My guess is that he's around ten weeks old or so.
I brought him in the house and so far so good.
It's supposed to get down to ten degrees tonight and he doesn't have a full winter coat because of his age.

1. When neighbors move out here, they discard cats like broken boxes.

Infuriating! I feed the crew.

Ty for helping them, John.

Sounds like the Cat Distribution System is being quite generous with you.

Sometimes I think non-humans that looks like humans live among us. Thank you for caring for the gang.

I hope he's small enough to get "adopted" by Cuddles and Petunia.
I think I'll name him/her Shadow

home . I wonder how much loyalty some cats have? After all they are animals much as we try to humanize them. No matter what we think they are not little humans.

a rental that allows pets!!!

People lose jobs have to move, sometimes on short notice
(like they discover you have a cat!)

The rental market is a nightmare!!
