Snapshot Saturday ~ May 7th

Coming Mother's Day made me think of these little kittens, Gidget (gray & white) and Scout (black & white), we rescued off the street a couple years ago in the dead of winter. They relied on each other for warmth and used to sleep in big stone flower pots on our neighbors patio. It took many days for me to gain their trust and get them to come inside.
Within hours, Gidget and Scout attached themselves to Huxley, a male cat about age one. Both kittens followed Huxley everywhere, slept on him & around him, played when he played, ate when he ate, etc. We found a good home for Gidget and Scout but worried how they would cope without Huxley. Well, they were just fine! These photos always make me smile.. Gidget and Scout are so cute, & laugh about Huxley's very maternal side!

  2. Amy, these are so adorable. It makes me sad to think about strays fending for themselves especially in winter, but it is so nice that there are animal lovers like you to help find homes for some of them.. Thanks for sharing.
