Not a good photo by any means, but honestly I'm not sure I've ever taken one that made me sooo relieved and happy. Late yesterday afternoon I found 3 teeny white kittens, plus 3 Muscovy duck eggs in the large dog carrier that is permanently set up under cover. The cat we've been trying to catch for ages hangs out over that area and Wendy was convinced that she was in kitten when she glimpsed her a few days ago. We keep, feed, water and a litter tray over there in hopes that she'd go in. I knew the flipping duck was hanging out in there, but I hadn't seen the cat. Thanks to the showers that finally arrived a couple of nights ago it seems she decided to take advantage of the warm dry shelter provided. If the rain had come earlier or waited for a few more weeks we may not have managed to catch her so easily. Despite all my rain dancing and praying for rain sooner, it's timing couldn't have been more perfect. At last we have Mum safe and she won't be having any more kittens and these little guys will have a brighter future.
