Pegleg Is A Mother

Our calico cat did look like she was starting to get that pregnant-pudgy look about her when she disappeared.
Mike had stated that he saw her out hanging around the bull pen barn when he was out there feeding. She still came back to the showbarn when I was setting out cat food for the tribe of barn cats but she had lost any pudgy she had and was looking downright skinny.
Last week, she showed up with a scrawny black kitten and hid it by the wood pile. Between times when Pegleg was not around, the kitten would hunker out of sight, deep in the recesses of the pile.
A few days later, the orange kitten showed up and the black and orange fluff balls could be seen huddling together or tumbling around the edges of the firewood. Several days later the white kitten appeared and now it is a rough and tumble, constant adventure going on although they don’t travel far from the safety of the pile.
Mike thinks there may still be a kitten or two in the bull pen. Pegleg is a busy mama with all the coming and going, back and forth from the wood stack to the barn.
