Shortly after I moved into this house a year ago, I've noticed a tri-colored cat with 3 kittens hanging out in the back yard. I wasn't sure whether the cat had an owner or not, because I haven't seen them since. Until about a week ago. I saw the same cat with 4 new kittens at the same spot between the garages. I asked the neighbour about those cats, he thinks the cat is homeless and that he had seen the same thing happen last year also. I'm not sure if the mama cat is still nursing them, because I haven't seen her for a while, so I brought them some food and water. I don't know what to do with those kittens. I can't even take one of them, cause my cat will not take it well(I've tried it before). And besides that, my boyfriend's slutty cat had just had 5 kittens of her own. Yeah, she had 12 kittens within a year and it's a whole different story. She's finally getting spayed next week. Thank God. But...back to the kittens in my backyard. I don't know if I should take them to the shelter or put an ad in the paper, or what...And I wasn't even able to come close to them, since they hide when they see anyone coming towards them. And I wish I could catch that mama cat also, so that I could get her spayed. I don't know what to do...I can't bear the thought that something can happen to those kitties. It's so heart-breaking. I want them to have good, loving homes.

Upd. May 2008. A year later the same cat had 2 more kittens in the same spot. They were very cute and now they are gone again. I guess she has them here every year. I wish I could catch her an get spayed.
