- Cat and kittens residing under our shedPosted on: 2008-06-27June 25, 2008
We have a mother cat and 2 kittens spending a lot of time under our shed. The mother cat is a beige/tan and black tabby (tiger) with a black stripe from head to tip of tail. The kittens are similar coloring but a little darker. We watch them through binoculars. They have not let us near them, so maybe they are wild and do not belong to anybody, but I had to put it out there. If you have any knowledge please contact: Lisa Freedman, 14 William J. Hgts, (508) 820-4750, LNFkitty2@aol.com
