My kittens...now 3 years old were found in a tree! Someone from my barn was returning from a trail ride and heard little meows coming from a field. They saw the mother cat on the road and started to look for the kittens. They only found the 2...not sure if there were more that wandered away (I can't stand to think about that!). Anyway, they found these two up in a tree. We tried to get the barn cats to adopt them, but they didn't want any part of these two screaming babies. It was Memorial Day and the days were warm, but the nights were still cool...I watched for a few hours as it was getting colder...they were going to die if someone didn't take them. Animal lover that I am, I couldn't resist. They were 2 weeks old! They couldn't do anything on their own. I bottle fed them for 4 weeks and took them everywhere with me...even to work...so that I could feed them every few hours. Let me tell you, these cats are the most affectionate cats that I've ever owned, probably because I was their mother and they've been handled from such an early age! So...since they came out of a tree and one is a boy, the other a girl...I named them "Tarzan" and "Jane."
