Basja is back. She was away for 4-5 days and finally turned home with great hunger. Maybe she wanted to find somebody better as us -as Murka did once, when she leaved her masters and came to us. They say till today that we stole their cat. Now, Basja maybe wanted to find somebody, but is back.
Kotik has great battles. With the father or with the mother of his kittens -we don't know. Some days ago he was very angry with me because I did not open him the door in the night when somebody beat him. But we said, to become a Male he has to learn to fight and to protect himself. The male becomes Male only if he was beaten many times. Yesterday he came all covered with blood and with torned ear.
He is the biggest cat here and he eats good, has better health. Why he alows to beat him by every cat?
So, at the end he will become a Valorous Fighter. We hope.
And here are the last photos of the kittens. I saw the mother go away and made changes in the hole. Hope, she don't leaves them.
All the life of Kotik from the very-very beginning 12 years ago:

I think you should let Kotik inside. I find this very sad. I don't believe a male cat should be made to fight.

Kotik is a stray cat. We are not able to protect him always. We could only help him to cure his wounds. If he doesn't learn to protect himself, the other stray cats will kill him. And if I am not near him in that moment? It's better if he goes out to the fight today, learns to survive -and if something is happen I can cure him and support him. So I'm sure, when I'm not near him once, he continue to live.
It's hard for us to understand. We don't have stray animals - they are always collected and looked after in special sanctuaries. Then homes are found for them with families. Cats would never be left in that sort of situation. We find it very upsetting, but must accept that not all countries have the same outlook towards animals. I would take them all indoors if it were me, although I do accept that these situations are not unusual to you.
I understand you, but the situation with the animals is very different here. The countries where I lived can't give possibilities to live to humans. What we pretend that give to animals? And than, we live in the mountains, not in the village, the life here is natural.
We have about 10-20 resident stray cats near our house. We are not rich, but we accept 3 of them in our house.And we took to sterilize 2 females (Murka and Basja) because we can't see their kittens die. It's a tragedy for us. Now the other female came to us and made kittens.
The father of Kotik is the resident "head". Kotik had to go away and die probably if he could not find his own territory. But he doesn't want to leave us. So, as you know good, one of the males has to go earlier or later. It's the rule of life by cats. The father is very expert fighter. He is covered with wounds so, that you can't distinguish his face. So, if Kotik does not learn to fight, he will have a bad end...
I do understand what you say, and that you can't save all of the cats. You do have a warm heart and it shows :O)
It is so different to the UK. We haven't had 'wild' cats for many years and cats fighting is almost unheard of. You do your best, and that is far better than nothing :O)
You know, Beetle, I have to say you the truth: in the ground of my soul I think that the naural life of these animals is something good and that has it's reasons.
It's hard, but I like it because it's right.
We try to do our best.
Basja, for example, was in the conditions to die when she came to us. And she had those 2 kittens too. She crept on the stomach to steel a piece of bread from our hens from hunger. She was a shadow of the cat.
But normally she and her kittens had to be dead. The same for all the kittens of Murka (Kotik too). And this is natural selection. And it's right.
But...
B E A U T I F U L ! ! !

We have stray cats in Singapore too, but not till the extend of that many.
But the kitten is really adorable, feel like bringing it home.
They stay good now. I did a sweet house for them and the mother seems to be calm and happy too.
