The mama kitty continues to be fearful of me....rubs up against my legs purring but if I so much as lean towards her she hisses. The kittens were of course afraid of me also. I opened up an access door that is just to the right of the little hole so that if it rained the mama could find shelter with her kittens. I put a box with a cut out so the kittens could climb in and a small wool blanket. 

Kittens and mama immediately and happily got into the box. I was feeding the kittens wet cat food which they devoured....though they look healthy, not thin. 

But, two days later I went out in the early morning to feed them and found the box empty. I looked out the front window and, sure enough, there was mama kitty guiding the smallest little orange kitty across the road to the house that is left of the house where she raised her last litter of kittens months before. 

I have to say, it was pretty special to see how that mama cat guided that little kitten across the road. That kitten ran under the mama cat....up the curb and under the porch. I have seen them running around on the porch for the last two days....I have never seen the front door of that house open....so, I think the owners have no idea the kittens are there.   

Mama cat comes twice a day to eat....purring the whole time....
