There were feral kitties that lived under one of the buildings where I lived when I was about 10. From my window I could see across to the building where they lived- there was a hole that went down into the crawlspace and they would come out at night. During the day, the mother might come out sometimes and would occasionally let me pat her, but the kittens were quite wild and very shy.
One night I looked out my window and saw the HUGEST raccoon squeeze himself into that hole in the building.
No more feral kitties after that :(

My personal thanks for everyone for helping these cats.
Here is a picture of the kitten one of our daughters found in a bush near her dorm at her college town last October. He was 3/4 weeks old at the time.
Well, we kept him which makes 3 cats plus 2 dogs in our home. He is the smartest cat I have ever seen and a naughty stinker, but I love him. He plays the piano (really), he can sit, he seems to learn names of things right away, like after two times. It's amazing. What I assume is that the feral cats that survive must be pretty smart.
Had my daughter not rescued him, he would not have survived the winter we had here in Minnesota last year.

This was him right after we got him. He is much much bigger now. All of our daughters are crazy about him just like me.

Love the name! My brother recently rescued a kitten literally from the jaws of death! His big dog thought she was a squirrel! She came out with fairly minor injuries and is a doll. I love all animals including the skunk living under my house. The people who own the mobile home park where I live do not so I'm looking for some land soon. My three cats are now stuck in the house and they don't want my dog to be on a lead anymore. Can't say the words I'm thinking, have to pray for forgiveness right now if I do. Thanks for letting me vent.
