I saw both the mama and the kitten last night. Petted mama for a while, as she ate (until Little Shit hit the screen on the window and scared them both off; note to self: close window before sitting outside to pet the kitties), she didn’t seem to mind. And the kitten actually ate out of the bowl that was sitting my my foot. If I wiggled my toes, it ran off, but came right back.
Also saw Gilligan this morning. So, all is good on the kitty front.
The plan is to nab the kitten first, then go after the mom. Because if she’s gone first, who knows what the kitten will do.
