Speaking of cute animals....

....Miss Denise MAY be getting a baby brother or sister.
There is a family of feral cats who live in nearby backyards -- Charlie's house behind us and the family next door. Charlie feeds them and has two cat carriers for them to hide from the rain.
In the past, he has been able to gather the cats and get them fixed at the SPCA. They no longer fix the cats the at SPCA but they do fix them at a local vet's office so I guess that's where Charlie takes them when he can.
He mentioned to Boonie that he hasn't been able to catch the cats lately.
Anyway, there are two white kittens in this family. They are slightly older kittens, about six months.
We think the kittens were born under our shed. At least they spent lots of time there before starting to socialize.
One of them has been spending a lot of time at the window of the enclosed porch staring at Miss Denise. The other day, it was sitting on the wall outside, looking at Denise, who was at the front door.
For her part, Miss Denise (who is feral herself) does not seem to mind. She doesn't snarl or blow up her body or try to chase the kitten away. She just stares.
We were thinking that maybe we would try to adopt the kitten if it's OK with Miss Denise.
But, we don't know.
