Adventures of the Tortoiseshell Cat

Recently a strange cat came to our house. She had just given birth to some kittens and appeared to have them in the wooded area near our house. One morning we looked out and saw her nursing four little kittens in the driveway to our home. We did not know what happened to them for a while until one day she appeared again with only one of the kittens with her. Soon she seemed to take up at our house. We never knew what had happened to the other kittens. Probably some wild animals had attacked them. The mother cat was very shy at first, but after we started feeding her, she stayed at our house and enjoyed our company. . She began to rub against our legs and get our attention, but she did not want us to touch her or play with her at first.
