If you remember that my neighbor rescud a kitten abandoned in a
snow-filled box and asked me if I would take it whne I returned to PA,
the story works out because I was trepid about taking #6 onboard and
they had grown to love it, so Bolly is staying in his forever-home.  

An ugly surprise awaited me when I got here for there was a skeletal
black-and-white in the yard, and I was afeared (and still am) abour a
predator again.  Turns out, when the husband found Bolly there were cat
tracks in the snow leading in my direction;  he tried to follwo them
without success so it seems likely that the remains were probably of a
littermate and not a neighbors cat, and for that matter may have
succuumbed to the nasty January weather rather than a predator.  Sad but
a little solace for my fear for my guys (still housebound from dusk to
dawn).
