Our Litters

Four litters, born over the years to Bug & Lady Bug, are most of the reason four cats became twenty-one. Each one gets its own page here — the story of how it happened, who's in it, and updates as they come.

Bud, a fluffy brown tabby cat with a white chest, lying on a wood floor.
Lulu, a mostly white cat with black patches, lying calmly on a wood floor.
Couie, a calico cat, curled up on a gray blanket.

The First Litter: A Complete Surprise

Bud, Lu & Cu were born outside in late winter somewhere near our house and were brought to our front porch by Dad. If you check Bud's Bio you'll notice that one of his nick names is Little-Bug - minus the health issues the resemblance is spot on.

Tangerine, an orange and white cat, resting his chin on his paws on a cardboard box.
Sootsoot, an all-black long-haired cat, sitting in a gray hammock perch on a cat tree.
Snowdrop, a gray and white long-haired cat, squinting in a close-up portrait.
iHop, a black and white cat, peeking out from a woven wicker chair.

The Second Litter: What the Cuss?

Another Litter - what the cuss? If you are wondering why we didn't fix Lady Bug after the first litter it's simple - she was feral as cuss and we couldn't get within 30 feet of her.

Tonytony, a gray tabby and white cat, sitting upright and looking up at the camera.
Baby Bandit, a calico cat, sitting by a sunlit window.
Teanie, a black and white tuxedo cat, curled up on a cat tree perch.

The Third Litter: You've got to be kidding me!

You've got to be kidding me I said when a 3rd group of kittens showed up with Lady... we were still in the process of getting the second litter spayed and neutered and talking about how to catch or trap Mom.

3 cats

Cream, an orange and white cat, resting on a fuzzy blanket.
Puff, an orange and white cat, lying stretched out on a gray bed.
PayPay, a gray tabby and white cat, sitting in front of a window.
Ulti, a small brown tabby cat, curled up and dozing on a blue blanket.

The Fourth Litter: Oh My!

These cute little kitten cussers were the first crew to be born inside (garage) and not having to struggle for survival. We were able to lure Lady into our garage with food and shut her in while she was eating. She was NOT happy and growling fiercely. Even several days later we couldn't get near her.
