The circus on my back patio has ended. Let me start from the beginning.

This afternoon I was on the phone with my mom when I looked out my front window. I had something similar to a Twister moment. Instead of “I gotta go we got cows”, I said “I gotta go, I got a kitten.” There was momma cat (The same one I think) in the bushes and a little kitten frolicking in the grass. I proceeded to put food out. I was determined to get momma and the kitten and get them fixed and in homes. After putting the food out, I discovered a second kitten! As the afternoon ended and Josh arrived home, he discovered, a third kitten!

Again, I am determined to get these cats fixed and in homes. I wasn’t quite expecting three kittens in addition to the momma, but I will try. So this evening I left the door to my back patio open. Well, the kittens and momma explored it, but are still cautious. Josh’s old shoes have been given up to the cause. The shoe strings are toys now. A golf ball was discovered and proceeded to be knocked around the patio. The adorable little runt discovered that it could climb the bike on the patio. I tried to get a photo but it was too dark in that spot. The kitten climbed onto the seat and sat on it as though it was going to ride without hands. Of course then it decided to try and climb to the window and fell. It walked away fine, but the noise scared the momma and they haven’t been on the patio since. I have checked and she is on the brick patio outside. The kittens are playing in the bushes. I closed the door and will try again tomorrow.

When trying to properly explain the adorable antics of the kittens I said to Josh, “You know all the cute stuff on YouTube? It’s happening on our patio.” He laughed. It was true. I’ll try to update with news and or pictures if I can. Momma seems to be getting a little more comfortable with us. That’s step one.

Now, I’m going to finish watching possibly the last game of this World Series.
