I really want to get him cleaned up and have him indoors, he is so beautiful, big paws longer fur on back and tail oh so lovely markings … oh I am in love with this little kitty. I do not know if he is a he, seems extroverted, at the least. But we have too many in house already. My heart is breaking into a thousand pieces. \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He has another tiger kitty sibling that looks less like him as they are growing and a solid black shorthair sibling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have a confusing feral group. A long haired black cat showed up with the above 3 kittens to eat a few weeks ago. But it’s another cat that is that groups mother, I have analyzed all the photos I have taken when different cats showed up in March and compared to everything since.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Brown, tan black tiger cat above began showing up with the tri of kittens, acting like they were hers after hissing at them the first time, but never again. Maybe adopted them we were thinking. But Back on March 14 I had my first pictures of her and she was WIDE. So, they are hers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then several days ago another kitten showed up … much, much younger, a tiger with a lighter appearance. It was probably 3 weeks and a few days, but who knows. We don’t see it every day, about 3 days ago it was here for a very long time. I felt so bad … no way to help it currently (finances really skimpy right now.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
