Last December, during the season's first nasty snowstorm, a kitty arrived on my doorstep. She was an obvious stray, but young, beautiful and healthy-looking - and very hungry. So I took her in. I gave her a warm home in my basement, and fed her. And I named her "Elsa" - after the hero lioness of Joy Adamson's books.

Last week, she rewarded my kindness by producing five beautiful kittens.

And as much as I hate the thought now - but in about 8 weeks, I will have to try and find them good homes.

So anybody reading this blog, living in Central Oregon or California - email me if you want to light up your life with one of these beautiful little creatures.
