Ew.  You know, sometimes I worry myself.  My head is like a birdcage, and it has not been cleaned.  Every once in a while, something truly sick flops out between the bars, and I have to pretend nothing happened, while everyone else crowds to the other end of the bus.

To be fair, that was pretty much the image I was trying to invoke, Kathyrn Harris aside.

It was the Kathryn Harris part that freaked me out.   :x

Oh.  You believe that, huh?

Remember, this is Florida we're talking about.

Florida?  They probably use the little bastards for chum.

Back in the late 80's they caught a group of teenagers who had tied cords around the heads of a bunch of stray cats they had caught in the neighborhood and were throwing them over the side of a bridge.  Head pops off, body falls, instant chum.  At least that is what they said they were doing...  chumming...  Hadn't thought of that in years.

So I have those 3 stray kittens in my garage and their mom is outside.
Calling for them.
-Do I put them back outside with her, where they can slide down the steep slope into the crick, get eaten by a possum or hawk? (hawks don't mess around in these parts)
-Or do I keep feeding them till I  can find them homes.

Note- they're weened, they eat dry food, but they're tiny.

What do I do? Anyone know?  :sad:

EAT THEM.

They're in St. Petersburg and I did some volunteer work there when I still lived down there. But if you call them, they can probably give you the Orange/Seminole County alternative, because I highly doubt you'd want to drive the fuzzies 2 hours.

Don't put them out, they'll die. So she'll be happy she got them back for about a day, and then they'll be dead and she'll be sad. For a day, and then she'll forget about them, which is what will happen once you put them somewhere she can't hear them.

Really?  I'm not saying you're wrong, I don't know much about cats, but it seems strange to think that cats are dependent on human assistance to get through infancy.  Seems like if mothers couldn't keep their kittens alive, cats should have gone extinct by now.

Call the shelter and see if they have a live trap you can rent or borrow. Then you can catch mama and take her to the shelter along with kitties. She will probably end up being put down, but then she won't be out there breeding. Or you could do what my dad does, which is has them spayed and then releases them.

Alternately, you could start feeding her and see if you can gain her confidence.

Alright. I'm keeping them in my garage. They know how to poop in a box. They seem to have taught themselves somehow.
I may have to pass by mama cat who gets fed by my neighbor and see her stare at me as if I've eaten her children, but I tell ya, if they were out there, they'd get eaten by something else.
I may have animal control do their spay and release thing, if I can find the right contact.
These guys won't be hard to get rid of. They're cute as shit and there's only 3.

So I feel guilty, but I know they're alive.

and GOD DAMN IT ROGER, YOU MADE ME POOMP ON MY SOFA!!

also- Khara that was the worst story ever. I never wanna read it again. EVER.

also also- GA, this is Florida. I live near water. We don't have too many strays in my area, if ya catch my drift. And these hawks do not fuck around, nor do the buzzards sit around and wait for shit to die.

aaaahhh.

In that case, release the kittens and camp nearby with a good camera.  Score some pics of apex predators and post them here.
