This is kitten is now known as Big Orangey... This is it's story.
On April 26th, 2008 we had a big snowstorm... inches of wet snow covered the trees and the ground... I had the kids for that day as Ruth worked... sitting in my bedroom I could hear a kitten meowing outside my bedroom. I went out and found this little early spring kitten shivering in the snow... some lucky kitten. Without too much difficulty I picked it up and wrapped it in a towel and brought it in the house. Little 2 year old Mary was thrilled! 
Little Orangey had to put up with all kinds of attention that a little girl can give to it! It was the kitten of the day around here for a few weeks...And got mauled much like the kittens have been around here with the 5 chasing, pulling and yanking on tails and fur to get a good grip as they carry them around! 
Warm and fed it was saved from a cold and desperate life out in the cold at a young age... He probably would not have survived because of the late spring snowstorm... a wild kitten became tamed and handled a lot for a few weeks...
Then the weather got nice and the two pulling it in two directions and getting like little kids can get... not very nice without knowing that they are being scarey and a bit mean... well, little Orangey kind of went away to care for himself and maybe he even found his mother again and got her good care and milk...
But we have noticed a large outside cat that comes most evening and paws at the patio door. The kids let him in to clean up the supper plates and drink some milk and they call him, "Big Orangey." He is a little bit shy, but seems to like to be petted some and certainly loves to get the food and warmth... then out he goes again to the shed for the night. WE are convinced that our semi tame kitten that we saved from a late snowstorm has returned to be spoiled once again! 
Not quite as much as he was when he was a kitten in April of 2008! But I think that we have proved that cats have memories! This is one smart and lucky cat!
Bless-bless, Barb"Praised be the God and Father
of our Lord Jesus Christ,
who has bestowed on us in Christ every spiritual blessing in the heavens.
God chose us in him
before the world began to be holy and blameless in his sight."
Ephesians 1: 3-6
