A Kitty's Story Continued


The theme of this week's PicStory is animals. I thought this would be a good time to update you on MK (Mama Kitty). MK is the mom of my little Kitty Krew, six kitten who have lived with us for about ten months. I did another post on MK HERE.

MK has been spayed and is healthy. She is still somewhat wild and will not let anyone get too close. She visits our front door at least twice a day to be fed. She keeps to her own schedule and I know about when to expect her. She has been doing this for about three months. If for some reason I don't see her she simply comes around to the patio door and looks in until noticed.

When I put out her bowl of food she no longer runs and hides, she takes a step or two back and meows at me now. I'm not really trying to tame her I just want her to have food and water and to know she is safe at our door.

My squirrel friends are saying that you might be getting tired of seeing cats on my blogs so they wanted to make an appearance.
For more photos please visit Freda's Tuesday Takes and Tina's PicStory. By the way, my photo from last week won first place at PicStory. Click HERE to see.

It´s nice how you care for MK! And the squirrel is also cute :) Thanks for joining PicStory with this lovely photos!

MK is just my kind of kitty: independent and only wanting to be fed. I took care of a feral cat once, long ago, and she ended up being pretty tame by the time I moved away and we lost touch. I love cats of any kind and the picture of MK is very sweet.

MK is quite a beauty - wild in spirit, yet accepting of your care. Some think it may be a shame that she wasn't with you as a kitten. Yet, she has an affection for you, and it is showing a love she was denied - until you. A life saved...

I am not a fan of squirrels - yet with this winsome pose, I may change my mind :)

Bring on the cats!

MK is should have been named Miss Independent. She is a beauty!
Thanks for participating!

Morning MS. J
Oh my goodness MK is a most beautiful kitty. She looks like she might have some Maine Coon DNA.

Does she have much to do with her kittens now that they are nearly grown?

I'm online until we get kicked off which could be minutes or hours.
Hugs Madi

That sounds exactly what I do.

Wonderful. Makes me all sniffy and sentimental. (So do diaper commercials, so that's just the way I am, but still, Mama Kitty is so lovely.)

She is quite lovely, and I expect she will be eating out of your hand in the near future!

What a pretty cat. I like the squirrel too. I like squirrels. Except the ones that eat my gas tank. LOL

Congratulations on your Picstory Award! MK looks so pretty, her hair looks so soft. You wouldn't think of her as a wild kitty. She's so lucky to have all your help. You know I love squirrels! Adorable as always!

Dory and the Mama said...

Just love MK!

I used to have a cat who hunted squirrels. Do yours get along?

Cat said...

Gosh, we have never, ever seen a squirrel even half this close up....once there was a squirrel in our garden, but it was far away and in a tree so we are sooo happy to see what one looks like close-up!! Thanks!! We think MK looks like a great lady and we hope that one day she has enough courage to let you pet her just so she can see that humans can be really ok. Oh, and congratulations on your award!! Purrs, Lautrec, Tiny and the dawgz

What a cute cat, glad she is ok but hope she becomes tamer.

The furry coat is amazing! Such a wonderful flare.

MK is beautiful - I would have guessed that from her lovely kittens. It's so good that she trusts you - life must have been hard for her in the past.

What a pretty kitty. Great shots, love the squirrel checking you out too.

Pat Tillett said...

Congrats! I'll go check it out.
Thanks for being so nice to that kitty! We have a "tamed" feral cat. We didn't hear her meow or purr for the first two years. Now she's a lap cat.
