Fuzzy Feline Friends

Recently, after returning from vacation, I discovered that my plants were being guarded by some tiny little fuzzy gargoyles. It seems a mother cat found my yard to be an ideal location to keep her litter of five kittens safe. She wasn't wrong, but I made it a priority to get them fostered/adopted before they grew to a size that would allow them to scale the walls and fences and leave my yard. There's just too much traffic and too many large dogs for me to let them just grow up and move out. So, I arranged to have the five of them picked up. In the end only three were fostered out because two friends from work ended up adopting one each. It has a been a couple of weeks now and they're already growing like weeds. Anyway, the mother (and as of a couple of days ago, the father) are still prowling around and I'll keep trying to catch them to have them fixed and adopted too.
