Hi Pals!
We’re happy to say that there is no bad news this last month. Phew!
We have cute news, though (but not as cute as us).

We have had lots of new, adorable critter families come around to visit recently! That’s mainly because Momma has been feeding, and putting out a buffet for them. She says it’s (supposedly) food we can’t have anyway, so, maybe, it’s ok for her to do.

We have seen a Mommy Raccoon with four babies. The babies are a bit on the bigger side, but they are so cute. Our Momma has to make sure she puts out enough food if they come around because Mommy Raccoon definitely does not like to share with her babies! If they get in her way, she growls at them a lot!

There are also two Mommy Skunks that have babies. One Mommy Skunk has four babies (they are sorta big), and another Mommy Skunk has seven babies (they are kinda tiny)! They don’t stink at all. But, if they decided too, that would be a whole lot of stink!!

Momma gets so excited when she sees them. We don’t get all that excited. We’re more thrilled to see the smaller critters, like the mousies, birdies, squirrellies. Maybe she’s not as excited about them because her tiny little human eyes can’t see them as well as our big, beautiful cat eyes.
That must be it.
Humans are so….pitiful.

Hopefully Momma sees more big critters to keep her excited and occupied.
That way she leaves us alone.

Til Next Month,
All of us (BoyCat, AJ, Butter Bean, Mabel)
