One of our neighbors, who should not have pets, lovely cat had kittens. Since they were not being fed at home, they came a calling at my door. Smokey and her three darling kittens made our front patio home, and got "three squares" at our door daily. Since the owner didn't take responsibility, Smokey got spade, and her darlings were adopted... however I couldn't give up little Lynyrd Skynyrd... He is such a goof, and entertains us all every minute of the day. His patio space is now taken by Mao, a foundling from the neighborhood. There must be a secret code written in cat on the sidewalk, "this way to a bowl of chow!" I will always adopt and feed anything that wonders to my door.
