March 15, 2010 brings more miracles to our spring! This morning David discovered Smokey in the basement with 4 kittens...and more on the way. One was literally frozen stiff on the cold concrete. He rushed it upstairs to the chick's heat lamp while I moved the mother and kits to the guest bathroom. A few anxious minutes later we had 6 healthy kittens - even little chilly-willy! He started moving again as soon as he got warm, and we placed him back with his mother. Whew! Talk about good timing! This was one day I was glad there wasn't any work and David was poking around outside for lumber!
The best mother cat in the world... with her babies only 3 hours old.
Already their tummies are full of milk, their fur is dry, and they have a nice healthy squeak! We have 4 yellow tabbies, and 2 black/grey/white striped ones. One even has its mother's characteristic gold spot - right on the top of its head!
All's well that ends well ... especially if it ends in lunch!
Too cute!!! Try not to have any 'accidents' with this batch, Mommy. LOL, said with love, as you know. :)
