Food bowl rollcall:
Little Bit, Orange-head kitty, Orange kitty from down the street, Black tom kitty, Outdoor Fluffy Buddy, Boo-Boo, Starla, SpongeBob.
No sign of Shadow this week. Everyone else has come, though. No raccoon either.
The big adventure this week was Little Bit's entrapment in the "shop" next door. You can read about that in the post she wrote after she was freed.
Also, Starla's in heat and Fluffy Buddy's "interested". Starla gets spayed on March 4th, so we're hoping it won't be a spay-abort (the lady in the green house would rather it not be, because she believes in not killing kitten fetuses). If there are signs by then that Starla's pregnant, we won't do the spay until after she's delivered. If there are no signs she's pregnant, we'll go through with the spay.

Unusual happenings at the green house
Warning: These pictures not suitable for kittens under the age of 4 months!
These are both female cats. The tabby one is Rori, who just got spayed. She is alpha cat of the house. The grey one is our foster kitten Smokey, who is in heat. This is what happened when Rori got fed up with Smokey's yowling!
Obviously, they are going to be spending time in separate rooms now when the humans are not home, and Smokey will be in with me for sleeping until she gets spayed. I looked it up on the net, and it seems to be a common dominance behavior for females.

It's officially mating season here
From the sounds and sights outside, the Trailer Kitties are ready for mating season. Neighbor kitty Boo-Boo is in heat, and Outdoor Fluffy Buddy, the black big-head kitty, and the white and orange big-head kitty are following her. Starla is not in heat yet, as far as we know. Smokey is inside and being put in the bedroom whenever the outside door is opening, because she's in heat as well.
Feral Cat Coalition of Oregon (FCCO) said in its last newsletter that many of the females being brought in now are in heat already. Please, please, people, spay and neuter your cats! We are trying to find places to get everyone but Boo-Boo fixed. Since BB techinically is our neighbor's cat, we have no control over her in that regard. (Mommy wishes we could just scoop her up and fix her too, though.)
Mommy wrote a new article on HubPages with tips for fostering kittens. If it helps even one kitten, she says it's worth it.
