Calico the Cat

Here is a little story for your Sunday evening. One evening, a few years ago, my grandparents, parents, and myself were winterizing the big motor boat for the year when all of a sudden a calico cat came walking into our yard. She was very friendly and tame which made us think that she was probably abandoned in the bend. My grandparent's garage door was open since we were all going in and out of there while winterizing the boat, when the cat decided to go in there and make that her new home. My grandpa, a huge animal lover, decided to just let the cat camp out there for a little while thinking she might get tired of the garage and move on. Boy was he wrong! My grandparents called us one day and said that Calico, our name for the cat, had given birth to a litter of kittens in their garage! We were all shocked and had no idea what to do next. My grandpa finally decided to take Calico and her kittens out to the local humane society where they could be properly taken care of. A few months later, my grandpa decided to call the humane society to check up on Calico and the kittens, and to his surprise, Calico and her kittens had all found good homes! To this day, we all still cannot believe that this really happened!
