the preludin world of cats

[fange]

Young Mochi has a habit of sitting over the back of the tall stools we have next to the kitchen counter. She has no idea how cute she is... we think.

Sorry about the pic size. These are the little babies I literally picked up off of the road. 
They are all a little bigger and ready to leave the safety of our home. That's the problem. Our local shelters are full and cats are so common if you want one hang around for ten minutes and you can take your pick.
What am I to do with them? I cannot keep them and the road outside already cost my last kitten it's life , even the street smart ginger tom was taken out crossing the road last week. They need to live but I cannot keep four cats and the road will almost certainly get them.
They are a bundle of joy and energy but I don't have the room to keep them safe. How best to safeguard their future?

How did you handle this kitten situation, j?

thanks flange and hatz for posting up photos of mochi and roscoe, even if hatz's photo was slightly spoiled by little feat's 'hotcakes and outtakes'. a word of warning hatz. our cats also used to sit on the record player and ended up cracking the plastic lid.

here's billy (named after my old mucker) who i rescued from the river gardens while on my run last year. he is a bit mischievous and torments the older cats. he absolutely worships me and rarely leaves my side. he's more like a dog than a cat. he has a toy mouse which i throw for him for him to retrieve. for some reason he is wary of my missus, so i have taken to calling her 'alpha cunt', which tends to irritate her.

Um, they are still with me. I am introducing them outside but it is only a matter of time before tragedy strikes. They sleep in the bathroom together at night. I have nowhere and no one to send them too.

Oh man, that is difficult. Good on you for doing it though, that is not an easy thing.

Well, Stumpy a small female has also arrived! She comes in for some grub and has a limp from a bite. It never ends.

Yeah, that pic was taken a couple years ago. It's cracked now.

Mochi being a hunter in the garden, bless her.
