Meet Stormy

A few weeks ago I told about a stray cat having a liter of kittens in my shed.   My parent's had named the stray Cally when she arrived on their deck a few weeks prior.  When I realized the cat was pregnant and shared this with my parents, they were actually excited.  All of our cats have been spayed or neutered and are usually adopted from the SPCA.  We thought it would be fun for the kids to experience kittens growing and learning.

There were 8 kittens in total.  This was not the experience we thought it would be however. The kittens all died within a week, except one - Stormy.  We call her Stormy for a variety of reasons: she looks like a puffy little gray rain cloud, she was born during storm, and her life has definitely been stormy.

Stormy will be 4 weeks old this Wednesday, so we are hoping that she will indeed survive.  She walks around in that kitten wobbly way.  She is very curious and turns her head to look at whatever sound or movement is made.  She enjoys being held.  We have all become attached to this little one.  She will definitely be staying.

Here are pictures of Stormy  -
