Many of you will recall me talking about Fluffy Gray Tail. She has a “better” name. We now call her Zelda. As you may recall, she is Sapphire’s mama. Zelda is quite frightened of us, yet she does want the food we provide. We’re involved in a dance as we get to know her better, and she considers if she wants to trust us or not.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, since Zelda is not spayed, this means she is once again ready to have a litter of kittens. I predict any day now. \"Zelda\"The only known survivor from her last litter, we call Nick. He has finally begun appearing during the day, and I captured a few pictures when he came close enough to eat (he’s a growing boy, so he’s hungry all the time).<\/p>\n

\"Nick\"<\/p>\n

Since this picture, taken last Wednesday evening, he’s become more comfortable with moving to the food dish when I am standing nearby. He’s still very leery of me, but he’s also very curious.
