Starburst, a Rescued Tortie Cat
When my wife, Kathy, and I first moved into our mountain home, it was apparent there was a large feral cat population. I began to TNR. By the second year, there were few fertile ones left, but we knew there was still one black queen which was pregnant. I was working out of town when Kathy called to say there were six wild kittens in our yard with no sign of the mother. I told Kathy to put out food and water.
By the time I got home a week later, there were only three left and one of those disappeared before I could move them into the garage. The two remaining ones, a tuxedo cat and a tortie, were very wild. It took a long time to tame them down, but Starbust, the tortie, is now a confirmed lap cat and Tuck is the sweetest cat on earth.
