Is it safe to say that they are all black? It was good of you and your neighbor to take care of her. We had a neighbor move and leave her cat, just left her to fend for herself. She would let me pet her if she was eating, but that's about all. Well, one day I was standing on the back stairs and heard kittens. I looked down to see that "Mama Kitty" had brought her litter and placed them under some lawn chairs that were leaning against the house. My husband said that God had a sense of humor, because we had two neutered male cats. She hung around for about 5 years and then we never saw her again. I'm sure she felt safe with my 2 neutered males. We managed to give away all the kittens, including Dopey - he crawled into the folds in the pool cover and we tried to get him out, but he came out a short time later, sort of staggering from the hear. Gave him to our mail lady and he had a long and happy life.
