The story of Mama (Mommy) cat, left off with me finding her den and kittens.

I didn't know how the Mama cat, ( by this time I was calling her Good Girl )would react when I approached her babies.

First babies to see was a tiny all white one that could only be called a mini me, Mama.

The den was located the distance of about 2 football fields away from my front door. It was in a partial skid of Belgium blocks up against a stockade fence. just inside the very back of the 2 acre property.

I approached the den on the other side of the fence so as not to startle the kittens. There was an opening in the fence right where the skid was located, making it easy for Mama and babies to go back and forth.

To get to this area I had to cut a path through brush and poison ivy. It was also a dumping grounds for the neighbors construction debris. A steel I beam was a handy place to feed the mommy cat.

Once Mama was comfortable with me feeding her there, she began calling for her babies to come out and get some food too. The first one out was the all white one I called mini me. Then another all white that tagged after the first.

Unfortunately I don't have many good pictures of this time. I was to busy trying to feed and gain their trust, and most of the pictures I did get were out of focus.

The second white kitten was a little smaller, if that was possible. His ears were disproportionately bigger than his head, so as to look like his head had to grow to catch up to his ears. He looked more like a white mouse than a kitten, he he.

The next kitten I saw was a bit of a shock. He was all gray (charcoal )and just a ball of fur. I don't have any pictures of him by himself, so you will have to imagine his looks. By this time I was thinking of names for Mama's 3 babies. I figured I start their names off with the letter "G " , but when I saw the gray one he looked so much like a little Bear cub, I called him "Bear" right away.

I thought that was it until a little beauty with "American Shorthair" marking emerged. The word BINGO popped out of my mouth, so her name became just that.

I going to continue this with a third part to show how I got all 5 into my house.
