Thursday morning at 0700: ALL critters present and accounted for at 'breakfast' time.0800: Moved tack and feed from Mike's truck back to the Honda (mobile horse supplies) - they're available to me at feeding/grooming time - More importantly, NOT available for Sam to chew up!!
0900: Mike got in truck to head for Wichita Falls for an appointment, and found a kitten in the cab of his truck! I retrieved 'Mia' and searched for her sisters to reunite them. NO KITTENS TO BE FOUND ANYWHERE!
1200: 3 hours missing - Little Kitty sleeping on the porch - didn't appear disturbed re: missing babies.
1730: 8 hours missing - Dinner served. Only Kitty and Mia showed up.
2100: 12 hours missing - Called for babies all over the immediate area with Sam on the alert - no kitties.
0700 (Friday): 22 hours missing - Breakfast - again only Kitty and Mia.
1200: 27 hours missing - On the phone with Bill Davis (his horses are with our 1 horse!) to order more grain for his horses. Told him about missing kittens and looked out window to see one kitty still. No.. wait!! It's not Mia!!!! Mitzi was drinking Sam's water and looked rather thin!!! Now we have two kittens and mom!!! 
Wednesday: 0900: 6 days missing and no further sightings! With 97 degree days and tall grass around, my hope of finding Mouse and Marca has dwindled as the hours have passed. I am saddened by their absence and miss them a lot. Marca is my 'catbird' (a previous blog) and Mouse got trained on mouse-catching at 6 weeks of age (an earlier blog). I don't think my little kittens are coming home!!!

Dont worry, you'll be having two little grandsons to replace your grandkittens in a little bit anyway... and they won't be running away anytime soon either!
Yeah, I think they're gonners... but it's nature's way I guess. That's why cats have like 5-6 of them at a time.
well.. momma did a good job of training (as you yourself mentioned, climbing trees and catching dinner) so between the two of them, they know the skills to survive... They just have to use what they were taught!!
