So at some point in the last year I decided to become a cat parent and I adopted a few of the wild cats that were roaming the neighborhood. They weren't (and still aren't) the friendliest of cats, but although they aren't the most loving they do work hard and do a great job taking care of the rodent population. Which I very much appreciate. But then recently one of the females named MJ got pregnant and had some adorable little kittens. At first she kept them hidden outside in some bushes, but eventually I found them and was able to keep an eye on them. Over the last few weeks they have been growing fast and are now running around all over, climbing on things and play fighting with each other. And since they are getting raised here with me I think they are going to grow up much more friendly and loving with humans. Which will be awesome, as long as they will also still be rodent hunters! Which I'm pretty sure they will be.

I haven't named any of them yet. I figure I will find good names as their personalities start to develop. I have really been enjoying watching them grow and learn and I will be sure to update you about them more in future posts!

And so until next time...

I hope you have enjoyed this glimpse into

My California!!
