Which Reminds Me

At one time there was quite a large tribe of feral cats living in the thicket behind Grandma and Grandpa Calkins' house in California. The feral cats were cute to look at, with a distinctive pattern of brown splotches on their ears and noses, but they were wild. The feral cats possibly scavenged for food in the garbage cans lining the alley but I cannot say that my grandparents also did not leave out food for the cats. I think that eventually animal control came and took the feral cats away to wherever they take wild cats of that sort although I really don't remember. The cats were gone later. One cannot exactly give these feral cats away as pets for small children because they will not let themselves be played with. They fear humans. So there really are not a lot of future options for these feral cats.
