Kittens!! Tonight while taking Mango out for her evening walk we heard something that sounded like a strange bird call. After a couple of screeches we realized this was no bird, we have kittens on our hands!! Behind the old tower is the remnants of an old animal pen and lots of brambles and cacti. The perfect hiding place for a new mom and her little ones! As we stood listening to where the cries were coming from we spotted an itsy, bitsy, teeny, weeny grey kitten trying to climb over the prickly branches! Now I am terrified of snakes and spiders, and Portugal has its share, but give me a helpless kitty and I basically threw myself in there! LOL! So this little critter was desperately calling for its mom, and we soon heard more cries. We made our way to the other side of the tower to find 2 more! A grey one and a black one! Both hiding in the rocks of the tower! We were pretty worried that these little guys were going to meet their demise once the sun went down, but within a few minutes their mom showed up! Still a young cat herself! We placed the kitten down and after a few cautious seconds she approached and grabbed fluffy! She then disappeared beneath the giant cactus to retrieve her other children! She must have found the other 2, a few minutes later and there was silence! Family reunited!! Needless to say we would like to adopt the entire family and bring them home with us! Hopefully we don't grow to attached! LOL!

| A slight look of terror! Poor little thing! |

| As you can see, kittens aren't really my thing…. |

| Here is the little black one trying to find cover in the tower. The other grey one is already hiding. So smart! |

| Here is the mom carrying fluffy away after we put her down. Such a good mom! |
