When the stray orange tabby cat our next-door neighbor Susie named Lemonade (below) began alternating between her back yard and ours, we asked, "Whose is it?" No one in the neighborhood claimed her and she was clearly expecting a litter, so we began to wonder which of our houses would become the maternity ward. Three weeks ago, the planter outside Susie's back door became home to momma and her five kits.
We've claimed the two pictured below. We haven't named them and don't know their gender yet, but if they're both male, I think we should call them Chris and Dean.
The others are going to homes of friends of Susie's. Her boyfriend Albert might be taking Lemonade to his home in Orange County, but we're hoping she'll continue to share quarters with our house and Susie's and remain close to her kits.
