All raised by one we called "Notch" due to her distinctive notched tail. Every couple of years we'd see her preggers, and at least one of the new group to come around the next year would also have a notch. I guess the notch was genetic and not due to an accident.<br /><br />12 years later and there are still notched kids coming up to my in-laws back door for peanuts. Now some of them have red bellies, also a mark on one particularly bold male from a few years back. We like to think Notch and Redbelly had themselves a good old time. :)Jim Kenefickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00682166087935189821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32278169577563552.post-63767131082128531032009-04-14T14:11:00.000-04:002009-04-14T14:11:00.000-04:00Cats, squirrels, large men.
