the alley cats on my porch have spawned themselves into alley kittens.

they still keep their distance, although they've mostly stopped scattering. it's weird, because i'm generally a magnet for house pets. alley cats aren't house pets, of course. but alley cats aren't usually porch cats, either.

i don't want to freak the mother out, but maybe the kitties will be more friendly if i hang out outside from time to time.
