We seem to have a 'suckers live here!' sign over our house.
There's at least one fluffy kitten, possibility up to three, lurking around our back steps. The tortoise-shell kitten is a little ball of 'tude today, though yesterday she was running from us like her ass was on fire. Now she runs as far as the second step from the top and GLARES, like "hey! you there, the one that's twenty times bigger than me! you disturbed me! prepare to die."
The other kitty (...ies? I've only seen one other kitten, a tuxedo, and MIL says she saw a tiger-striped but it could be the tortie + MIL's bad eyesight) is too terrified to stick around where the hoo-mans are. I haven't seen a mother cat, though I'd imagine they came from the many many feral cats that get dumped out here. If I see her, and we can get her, she's coming inside, too.
So. If you can spare a good thought / prayer / energy for us, so we can get these kittens and/or their mama out of the winter where there's vet care and food and laps (ETA: after the necessary search on craigslist and a check for those microchip thingies, obviously), I'd appreciate it.
(ETA, the revenge: and if there's more than two cats involved, we may need to find the remaining kitten(s) a good home. We'll keep y'all posted.)

Stray kitty homes (c&p from a locked post)
"Materials needed:
Sturdy cardboard box, tarp, duct tape, a couple foam gardening pads (for kneeling on), and an old towel or two.
Instructions:
Cut a doorway in the box, a few inches higher than the bottom, just big enough for a cat to fit through.
Then cut the pads to fit inside the box, and tape up the box.
Wrap the box like a present with the tarp, and tape it up.
Fold the tarp inside around the opening, and tape it well. You can add additional layers of tarp/tape.
Then just place the towel inside on the pads =) (I'd replace the towel once a week, and make sure to have dry ones inside on rainy and especially cold days). My gang of ferals moved in the day I put them out, they're quite popular!"
