I'm wondering if the fur loss is due to ring worm. The skin doesn't look red or inflamed and I haven't seen it on any of the others. I seem to recall Mittens the Kitten once having a missing patch of fur that grew back just fine.

The eye is my main concern but it does look a little better than just a few days ago.

These kittens are minis of him. At one point I thought he had cataracts but his eyes are absolutely the lightest ice blue I've ever seen.

VERY stocky

He is built like a bulldozer.

Bruiser disappears for weeks at a time and then all of a sudden, he's back. I saw him VERY briefly a couple of weeks ago. I am sure this is his territory so if I can get him neutered, it will make a huge dent in the population explosion.

If so, then these kittens would have an extra dose of Bruiser's genes.

sister of Mittens?

Trying to keep track of the feral genealogy.

I realized today that they are living underneath the neighbor's deck. From my vantage point, that deck looks like a disaster waiting to happen. They never use it. If they want to get rid of the ferals they should just try doing some maintenance on that deck.

made for them, like we discussed yesterday, it would get them out from under the deck. Maybe that's why the kittens develop eye infections. The deck might have bacteria, fungi, or viruses.

So Scooter must be a sister or half sister of Madoc?

Bruiser might be the father of all the litters, which means that he would be father to both Scooter and her kittens.

His name would be all over the tree, with arrows in all directions. But there might also be other males in the mix.

Only the female descent could be recorded with any certainty.

so it fits behind the pedal.
