My brother had come over to cut the grass at the back of our house and when he lifted some dead pampas grass Mike noticed all cuddled up together, a Mother cat and 3 kittens! I have never moved so quickly when he told me, you know I can't walk very well or far, but I got down the garden at a rate of knots! I didn't approach where they were, well I would have never have managed it anyway but I did see the grey kitten walk a few steps on wobbly legs. I was concerned about the Mother cat as she was obviously feeding 3 kittens so Mike put some Tuna cat food on the rockery and some water. When M looked a bit later she had eaten all the food.
I did ring the cats protection,plus the RSPCA but they don't do anything about potentially stray kittens, and their advice was leave them where they are. Actually I have a feeling the Mother may live near, but if the household is noisy with children or dogs etc it's understandable that she would find somewhere quiet and safe to give birth.
Sadly we can't adopt one of the kits because of my health, but we are loving being temporary foster Grandparents! We love cats.
