When I was in college, a cat had four kittens in the garage at the temporary sorority house (we were in the process of building a new one). The house mother was going to get rid of them so my suite mates in the dorm (6 of us and 4 were Zetas) took them. Believe me, it was pure bedlam. We were on the first floor so we would leave the window open enough for the mother (Amber after the book "Forever Amber") to go in and out - it didn't take her long to figure out which was our window. Somehow we got away with it until the kittens were old enough to give away and we gave the mother cat to a good home too. I will never forget the day the kittens all got out and went racing down the hall where a lot of glass Coke bottles were sitting. They hit those bottles and it was just like bowling pins - the racket was awful!! I don't remember what we told the dorm mother but we had the kittens for several weeks before she came into my suite mate's room one day to find her studying in bed surrounded by cats. They went shortly after that. I suspect the dorm mother really knew and looked the other way - we really did get away with murder!! She was a good friend of the Zeta house mother and the dorm was full of Zeta's - we were her favorites and she let us get away with a lot that the other girls would get in trouble for!!
