Little Momma

Today's sketch is of Little Momma, one a feral cat that stays in the laundry room. Momma has been around for years, eating the food we put out, invisible most of the time, and untouchable for almost two years. As she became more comfortable around us, it became obvious that she had a crippled rear paw. When she left a litter of six kittens under my truck, we cat-napped the litter, moving them into the laundry room. The kittens adjusted to humans and Mamma adjusted to staying in the laundry room while taking care of the kittens.  Only two kittens survived, but Tiny Tom and Fluffy are safe and content house hats, while Little Momma spends part of almost every day on the dryer in the laundry room, sleeping and eating.
