This sounds very much like your cat condo. Don't know if you were already aware of this or just figured it out on your own!

That's very interesting Terri .. I had never seen that in writing but tis true .. somehow they know that they have come to their last and permanent place to live and they know that they have to get along. It's obvious to me that all being spayed and neutered makes this much easier, but it's still pretty amazing how they do get along.

Melonhead still hisses and spats at me but then comes and rubs around my legs .. go figure .. Melonhead is one of the feral rescues .. a HUGE tomcat with a head the size of a small melon ..

I guess I have three housecats in the making here .. Sorry to say that I just couldn't part with them and haven't

Eyes are open, they are very active, peeing and pooping well, and I'm hooked .. new pics soon!

I am just about that good at giving up my babies. They are adorable Terry!

As someone said, you deserve to reward yourself with some "easy" babies and enjoy them!!! Not that raising kittens is easy, don't get me wrong. . . They are just too cute for words. I can't wait to see them growing up!
