Sometimes an opportunity presents itself that, from a photographic standpoint, is too good to pass up. From time to time I foster cats and kittens for various shelters and individuals. Recently I was asked to foster a pregnant feral cat.
Please pardon me as I take a quick detour to clear up misconceptions about feral cats. The word “feral” here is used to describe cats who may or may not have been domesticated at some point, but now live untamed. Although they are very wary of humans, and can react out of that fear, it has been my experience that beneath that fear, they are gentle souls who are often misunderstood. Now I climb gingerly off my soapbox.
So this beautiful girl is brought to me, with the vet’s assurances that she is 1 to 2 weeks from having her litter. She, of course, had other ideas, and delivered her four babies a few hours after her arrival here. I hope to document their time with me. Of course, it’s a bit of a cheat…kittens are adorable, and make an easy subject. Oh well! ;)
The first photograph is one of a few I took when she first arrived. From a photographic standpoint, there isn’t much to recommend it, it was merely to document her arrival.
This is Vixen
Here she is with her beautiful family
So that is the “ferocious” feral cat who is raising her brood in my spare room. She’s been enormously patient and sweet-tempered. Over time I hope to gain her trust so that she can find a home of her own. In the meanwhile I will have the pleasure of watching her lively crew grow up, at least for awhile. From time to time I will post pictures of them. It won’t be in “real time”, because I take so many, I would be posting several every day. For three months. I shall spare you that! 
If you would like to learn more about stray and feral cats, I suggest two excellent resources: www.feralcatbehavior.com/ and www.thecatsite.com/forums/ .
