Actually ... six!  Behind my house in Tampa there lives a couple ferals.
 I was worried for them (Franz's disappearance 2 years ago) but as it
happens Jessica in one of the small businesses had been feeding them.
One's a calico and the other a small young white&grey and we learned,
just before i left for PA, she was pregnant.  Sure enough, 10 days
before I left she dropped but we couldn't find or hear them under the
house (where they both hid out).  I was afraid for them but...

Last week Katie talked with Jessica and she'd caught one kitten, now 4
weeks old, and was slotting it for a working cat.  Then Katie saw 4
kittens playing and trapped two in quick succession, took them to my vet
and thence to Friends of Strays!!  (she's already has enough, 9 rescues,
  at home!)  Then she discovered yet another kitten, a calico, last
Friday and luckily caught it!  One eye was closed and the other goopy
but the vet cleared it up quickly with antibiotics and a cow-orker
immediately adaopted it and loves it.  So she's working on the 2
remaining kittens, now about 5 weeks old and getting shyer.  Push to
shove, she'll try to live-trap and neuter the mother.  Heh, she told me
the news with, "You're a daddy" and my response was pure MCP:  "Just
because you're a mommy doesn't make me a daddy!"  Norm (small mercies
dept:  so far, no dropoffs on my country biking route (whence came Case
and Khensu), keep your fingers crossed)

Great news she has gotten so many of them! Hope the "family" remains stable
this year.

Such a happy ending for all the kittens. Purrs that Hessica manages to trap
the mother, and that there are no drop-offs on your biking route.
