Because the Earth is our mother and we are all her children
Dramatis Personae
The Felines:
Sasha - The princess. My blue-eyed muted calico. She was abandoned at our house. After 6 months of being unable to contact the owner and no word, I declared "yoink."
Rainsong - mother to Willow. Domesticated feral. One of the sweetest beings you could ever encounter in your travels through life. She does naught but love everyone and everything. To her, "mother" is a verb and she does not care what you are, she will mother you.
Willow - Rainsong's son, a pig who rarely stops eating. He also likes to pounce things. Like my toes. He is about 1 year old but still acts like a kitten.
Cleo - Big mackerel tabby with a loooong tail and humongous green eyes. She needs love all the time or she will die. Zeus' sister.
Zeus - Big, lovey mackerel tabby with a gorgeous spots and stripes, and golden-green eyes. He has huge paws that he uses like hands. He loves to cuddle and is one of the smartest cats I've ever met.
Archimedes - Teeny, tiny seal-point Siamese/ Oriental mix with huge ears, a huge nose, big paws (for his tiny size), and enormous deep blue (almost purple) eyes. He is devoted to me and loves Adam and all the other cats as well. He is very, very confident. He has big brass ones and doesn't care who knows it; he fears nothing and no one.
Hieronymus - A flame-point Siamese/ tabby mix. Formerly a feral, but adopted from an agency and now totally a lover. He is extremely fluffy, a bit timid, and very, very sweet.
Tut - My mom's F2 Junglebob. He's 50% domestic cat, 25% jungle cat, and 25% bobcat... we think. The papers are a little complicated. He is incredibly smart, very athletic, and has one of the best personalities I've ever seen in anyone. He lives in Melbourne, FL.
The Mouse:
Cain - Little dun mouse who lost an eye to Zeus during his youth, but through the miracles of a really talented veterinary surgeon, lived to tell the tale. Brother to the late Abel, who retired from this world July 2009, a venerable old mouse-man.
The Hyoo-manz:
Michele: me, the author/narrator
Adam: my boyfriend, geeky programmer and a friend to felines

How cool. Michele, have you been able to pet or hold her yet? Did the vet say that she was healthy? I have been out of town all week and could not wait to catch up with the babies!! Thanks for all the postings and the websites and the videos!

Speech Prof
I do know who you are. :) The vet called and told me that Rainsong is FIV and FELV negative (which is great news)! She seems in every way to be a very healthy young feral. I did sort of pet her a little but she seemed to take offense so I have backed off until she seems more inclined to welcome such advances. Monday evening (hopefully) I am moving her and the kittens to a larger room with natural light. They don't seem unhappy in the small space, but I fear it will lead to boredom and neurosis. Glad you like the blog.
