The Saga of The Posse:
Early this week The Posse disappeared. Something must have scared them. The problem was Psyche left the kittens behind. She must have really been panicked. And what was I going to do with three kittens who were so tiny they could barely walk. I tried giving them milk on a plate, cat food from a can--whatever I could. One of them died.
Then two days later Shadow returned--no Psyche. I tried to get someone to adopt the little critters but no one was able or willing. I didn't think the last two would survive long. And Shadow kept drinking the milk.
The evening of the third day, Psyche returned. But she was spooked big time! Kept looking around, edgy. At least mom was alive and back. The kittens should be fine, now.
But the next morning Psyche was gone and one of the kittens as well. The poor little guy she left behind was miserable. He just sat in the driveway and cried. No response. His bosom buddy was gone--I assumed mom took him--and, of course, mom was gone. I did get him to eat some canned cat food.
The next evening Psyche was back again. Ate some cat food Shadow had left and slipped into the bushes. In the morning she was gone and so was kitten number two. For some reason, mom has decided Iten's Acres is not safe for her or the kids. There was a fox around last week so maybe he was the culprit. Anyway, The Posse now is only one in number. Shadow remains. He is really lonely--follows me everywhere crying for attention. Ahh well. A posse of one I guess you just call The Sheriff.
