How to Grow Kitties

Ingredients:

  • 1 large flowerpot filled with solid, comfy dirt
  • 1 plant that is willing to grow around any potted kitties
  • Feral kitty or two

Directions:

  1. Fill pot with dirt
  2. Plant the plant and water as needed until plant is well-seated
  3. Continue providing food and a feeling of safety for local ferals (whom have been TNR’d*)
  4. Sit back and wait for kittens to discover potted plant
  5. Check daily – amount of time of kitties to start growing in pots depends on weather and felines
  6. Eventually discover that besides having plant flourishing, you also have one-two kitties growing in the pot as well.

Notes:

  • I planted a small blueberry bush, which happily grows around any resident feral cat who planted themselves there. Even provided me with a nice harvest of blueberries this past spring.
  • I currently have two sibling kittens, approximately 6-7 months old, growing themselves in the pot.
  • TNR = Trap, Neuter, and Release. This is a successful way to control the feral cat population. These two kittens are the last ones that I need to trap and TNR. I’m hoping to accomplish this in the next few weeks. Stay tuned to read about my progress with them.
