This morning it was the kittens patient waiting, at the fence line (of course). Skittish was the one following them, for a change. Scooter has, of course, scooted a bit but not until after having a good nosh. I'm sure when I look out the window, Scooter will be back at the bowl.

4. At some point will you try to catch them and take them to a rescue org?

The kits are a good size to begin to be fostered or adopted. I had a family in my yard. A Mom and 3 kits. I cared for them until they were comfortable with me. Eventually I bought a big dog sized carrier. I started putting their food in it. After several days when they weren't leery and had become comfortable eating inside the carrier and having me around, I just walked up to the carrier and closed the door. They weren't happy but I was relieved. I took them to a rescue organization where they would be nurtured and adopted out. I think they were about 3 months old at the time.

The Mom had moved on at that point, which is what I think they do. Once the kits reach a certain point the Mom no longer feels responsible. I felt sorry for one of the kits because all she wanted to do was be near her Mom. Anyway, I think I did what was best for them.

5. We are setting up a plan to TNR as many as we can catch

Nobody would be in the least bit surprised if Mittens stays put.

8. Glad they will be neutered.

No chance of setting them up with organization that will arrange adoptions?

9. I think the adults are far too feral to ever become pets

I'll gladly keep feeding them.

If we can catch the kittens , I think I'll probably keep Mittens and find homes for Scooter and Spooky Jr.

11. You're probably right about the older cats. So happy you're going to keep Mittens.

And glad you'll be finding forever homes for Scooter nd Spooky Jr.

BTW many years ago I rescued a stray black cat. Named him Spooky.
