shouldnt have much trouble finding homes for that lot eh We.love cats but we probable wont replace our old' muelie'.I dont like keeping a young cat indoors and its erresponsable to let them run free in aus .Our wild life just hasn't evolved to cope with them and they wreak havoc.so many of our extinctions and 'species in danger',are down to pussy

They were placed in pairs so each kitten went to their new homes with a sibling.
Apparently all four are doing very well.
Our wildlife doesn't cope well with cat predation either. There is a strong movement
here that encourages people to keep cats indoors, particularly to protect songbird
populations that already have way too many stressors to deal with.
I don't know about Australia, but here the animal shelters are full of older cats
that can't find good homes......

same here .its never hard to find old moggies .seems to me a bit against the nature of a cat to suddenly confine one thats used to an outside life. WE just had a small discussion over your photo and Ali says its only my decision,not to have another cat so it doesn't count she's had 3 siamese over the years so your cats litter knocked her willpower for six.Is your puss siamese ? all ali's were short haired

This little mama cat is a Balinese which is fancy talk for long-haired Siamese.
She actually is not mine. I found her on the side of a quiet road near my home last
winter. Called all the neighbors, nobody claimed her. She was hungry, thin, cold and miserable. But I already have 4 cats, so I asked my friend Beth if she was interested, and she was, she already had 2 Siamese crosses. Only to find out a few weeks down the road this kitty was pregnant, as it turned out with purebred kittens. There aren't that many houses around here, it's very rural, so I can't imagine what happened to her. Seems odd that someone would abandon a cat pregnant with purebred babies, but people are strange animals sometimes.
Well I hate to cause marital strife. I hope you aren't in the doghouse over a cat.

She does look to have a gentle personality. Specially in that pose. It's still amazing such a rare and pretty young cat as her to be out wandering around and in weather like that. I wonder who lost her or left her?

Why did your friend come up with that premise? It's also possible she was traveling across the county, state, or country with her family, and jumped out of the car as cat are wont to do. I'm just SO glad you found her! She is one lucky critter.

eh, it's a long shot, I agree, these theories usually are even though they sound brilliant to us at the time.
because she decided the perfume smell meant Chloe belonged to a woman, and how would the kitty have ended up in the middle of nowhere if she was liked enough to be held and get perfume smell on her?
Enter vindictive boyfriend. *sigh*
We live on a back road, it would not be a path travelled by travellers.
It was definitely the sort of area you might choose to dump an animal, with a farm near enough by you could tell yourself they would take her in.

Ahhhh, then maybe she was dumped. Maybe by the woman herself? Maybe as a kindness, though in that weather? Or was it that cold? Then again you can't know how long the young cat was wandering around before you found her.
She could have wandered from a more major road, from a car that was traveling somewhere with her.
Parachuted? Gnawed her way free?
ET in disguise?

Nope, no major type roads near enough by. It was quite cold, January and she was thin and shell-shocked, couldn't have managed on her own very long. No water and no food.
Not any sort of kindness if someone dumped her. All I can think, other than deliberate dumping, is just possibly she climbed into someone's truck and got driven away with but even that seems implausible.
I think the angel bit may be right, she's exceptionally sweet.

they are! they were hard to photograph today, they wouldn't hold still-! But they're more interesting now,
since they don't just lie in a kitten pile anymore.
