This morning Jessie (as Rowan dubbed smokey mom cat) was curled up on the landing, her kittens sleeping in the carrier. When I came with fresh water, she hissed at the opening door and then realized, oh wait people are good, and came over for more petting - though she did let out another few random hisses. She might get along with one of our black fuzzballs inside the house :)
Watch as the kittens cautiously emerge, one by one, to play in the yard.
P.S. Ashley Maher & Balla Tounkara this evening at the Lily Pad in Inman Square. Great folky African music. Come!
