My niece's two Mama cats had 5 apiece. I made the comment that since my cats are getting up there in years I might take a couple of them. The next day I had a call from my niece from work. She drives over 20 miles one way to work and two of those little kittens had somehow hitched a ride under her truck and ended up at work with her. She didn't even know it until someone she works with saw the kittens climbling around on the tires. It's a wonder they survived that trip. Anyway, she called and asked me if I was serious about the kittens because she had them with her (unplanned and all). She brought them to me when she got off and I'm now the proud owner of two more cats, and the little ones are full of daring-do. Lou Ann
