These two were very lucky as a neighbor came upon them after their mother died during Hurricane Ike, probably protecting them.
I got to “sit” for them yesterday morning. They enjoyed hiding out behind the “Ike” water supplies and hanging and swinging from the bottom rung of a steel utility cart that I use for all pots and pans and TV and cooking mags in the kitchen.
Then they ate a bit and went to sleep. Zoe was not happy, stuck in her crate for three hours, but she was quiet and got a treat for her good behavior. I think the kitties are 5-6 weeks old and are still on formula, though I got my kitty years ago at five weeks and he already knew how to eat solid food because he fell off the 7′ shelf he was born on. What a cool cat that was, a talker.
These are up for adoption and will go quickly. Here are a few photos from yesterday. So cute! Dee

Oh, I love calico kitties! Was it hard to give them back?
I’ve volunteered for shelters and feral cat spay/neuter clinics for so many years that it was just a pleasure to have them for a few hours and help out their foster mom, who already feeds and cares for the two stray cats who live in our parking garage. Jim’s allergic so we can’t have them.
