The cats were right behind the machine and I thought the hot air blowing out would be too much. So I moved the kittens to a nicer spot. So I thought. The lady cat commandered her babies and moved away. She was gone for about three weeks.
Life goes on.
She brought them back and moved in under another porch. A couple of the other neighbors got involved and now it is a group effeort. The cats are getting tuna fish, dinner left-overs, gourmet cat food, whatever they want. Fresh milk is left out and changed everyday. Cat toys are appearing.
