The indoor kidcats are coping with my taking care of the outdoor fosters

Madoc, Arthur and Gryff do seek much more contact, than usual, when I'm inside. If I'm sitting on the step with the kittens, Madoc will rub up against the screen and sometimes meow, which is his way of telling me he wants attention. So I give him some. I also let him sniff Dewi through the screen, last night.

Gryff is MUCH more vocal. Arthur just wants more snuggles and those snuggles were pretty epic, last night.

Carys and Sian are pretty much 'meh!' but do like to sit and watch the kittens who are spending a lot of time in my yard.

To sum it up, so far there is zero drama.

Both Dewi and Dylan now come racing up to me. They were still on the deck at 9:30, last night, fast asleep. I have a bed for them but they don't seem interested in using it.

Their mom is a regular visitor and is getting much more comfortable being in close proximity to me.

I'm calling the kitten 'Dot' because of the big round grey marking on their shoulder.

There's a non-running John Deere riding mower behind the house and she was hiding beneath the deck. I brought a bowl of food and eventually Dot came out and ate. I'm hoping that happens again, tonight. (S)he can see the boys and mom hanging out with me and the other ferals sitting pretty close by. I'm hoping that will ease some of the fear.
