Maddy did a Good Thing last night:
She caught a fly.
Why is that a Good Thing?
Well, for several hours I kept hearing a weird noise in the room where I have my computer and couldn't figure out what it was. Then I noticed a fly buzzing around the ceiling and then had to figure out how it got in.
Oh, right. The housekeeping helper was over on Friday and we stashed several large plastic bins on the balcony. The fly must have sneaked in at that time.
Anyway, it evidently flew low enough for Maddy to swat it. Then she pounced on it, took it in her mouth (I was hoping she'd just eat it, but I guess she's accustomed to her food just lying still on her plate), and let it go.
The fly was still alive, but stunned and trying to crawl on the floor.
So I picked up a paper towel, killed it, and put it in the garbage.
I know some of you are overly nice to pests like insects and rodents, but the fact is that insects are not allowed indoors here. And the sound was driving me nuts, so Maddy did a Good Thing. It's a relief to know she has some predatory instincts that go beyond playing with toys. Usually when she finds a live insect, she just wants to play with it.
What a good girl!

Last night I woke up at 3.30 in the morning because of something moving in my bed. I saw this.
I don't have a cat...
I do sleep with an open window though.
I had that problem once. Stray came through the window.
So ended up with new cat. I had been feeding her though as we found her starving under the house.

My furry monster has brought home me two birds before.
Think he eliminated a mouse nest next door.
You should make sure they weren't stung. Some cats react to bee venom like humans do.Last night, Poseidon and Boots teamed up to take out a bee.

Do I want two more kittens? 
Ma'am Vickie at Kayla'a is giving away kittens. So do I want two? Zkribs love kittens. 
I discussed this with my cook and her two daughters. I don't bend over well and I'm not quick, so they would be the ones taking care of the kittens.
The kittens would sleep with me & their litterbox would be in my master bath. They are not needed for warmth. The consensus is for male kittens. I want two, fearing that just one would be ganged up upon by my pre-existing cats. who are now teenagers.
Irish is very pro-kittens. JJ is taking the traditional "whatever you want, sir," stance. Their mother methodically went through the problems and solutions. which I take as leaning pro kitten. My driver is leaning anti-kitten.
Advice and insight is sought. [Yes, I have 5 dogs, but they are outside dogs.]

Keep in mind that cute kittens become adult cats. At one point we had 8 cats, but that was many years ago. For the last couple of decades we have had two or three most of the time. Cats will take time to adjust to one another (usually) and the logistics of feeding many can be a challenge. Will they be indoor? Outdoor? or both? With that many, make sure all are spayed or neutered.
