It's the cats' birthdays. Their mother ran into the garage, went under a heavy work table and had these kittens (2 females one male) on Mother's Day 2023. Then she disappeared and presume she is dead because I have not seen her since she had them weaned and left. But the father still comes around. The kittens sleep in the house at night, go out in the day. They're spayed/neutered, vaccinated. The father is a feral cat like the mother was. I have been feeding him twice a day and giving him outdoor shelter for a while. Additionally, there's a Gus, maybe 5 years old. He was feral as a kitten but over the course of 2 years, I acclimated him to being a pet. I'm not really a cat person though. I've always had dogs. Maybe I'll get them one of those rotisserie chickens they sell at the grocery store. They dig that.
