A Blanca sighting

When Blanca...Paquito and Nico's mother...showed up at the house she did not seem to be a stray or afraid of people. I would say the opposite was true, she followed me everywhere even waiting for me to come back from wherever I happened to have gone.

After her kittens were born (Paquito, Nico, and Rudy) all three would run away when they saw me.  However, Paquito noticed how his mother didn't and would cry loudly when she wanted to be fed so he followed her example and allowed me to pet him.

He still cries loudly by the kitchen door or my bedroom window if he is hungry and feels I need to feed him. 😄

First, it was only little Katie who decided to try the same, and now little Nico is following in her footsteps.  It is so funny to have them meowing in unison. 

Yesterday instead of going out the kitchen door I tricked them and exited through the front that is when I saw Paquito walking on the southern cinderblock fence and wondered how it was that he was able to get there so fast? Turns out it wasn't him but his mother Blanca.  I seriously thought she had passed away as it has been months since I saw her.

As I mentioned in my main blog yesterday I had a snake scare.  I refer to them as kittens but they no longer are that. I have to go back and figure out more or less how old they are as Katie did not bring them until they were between eight to ten weeks old.

I am now afraid to go out the kitchen door. I will just have to be more vigilant in the future and hope my boys and Katie earn their keep and continue to keep creepy crawlers at bay.

Here is Katie the hero of the day!  I have no idea if she killed the snake or not as I did not go looking for it.
