So I’ve been fostering this pregnant cat who has been looking like she’s going to explode any second for about two weeks. This morning she gave birth to four fabulous kittens, with little drama or fuss. This is my first cat, and I am so loving this. Here are the pictures.
You got a litter you can actually tell apart - lucky you! Our fosters all seemed to have perfectly identical kitties - even down to all one sex. Have fun with the munchkins!
I know, I was really happy about that. I do think they are all boys, though–I’m not totally sure; I haven’t wanted to handle them too much and irritate mama.
Dung Beetle, yeah, she’s a knockout. Very good cat, too, except she hates my dogs (who have been absolutely angelic toward her, really). I’m hoping that’s maternal instinct and that she’ll get over it, because I wouldn’t mind keeping her (and maybe just one of the babies). I would so become a crazy animal hoarder if not for my dear husband. The thing is we’ll be moving back to the States in a couple of years and bringing a bunch of animals with us isn’t terribly convenient (and I’ll of course want more when we get there). Still…
What fat babies! She’s a beautiful momma with beautiful babies! It’s a shame you are so far away - I would so love to have the little orange one! I brought 3 adult cats and two kittens back from Hawai’i with me; it really wasn’t that bad. Except for worrying about them the entire flight.
Cuties! I’m kinda glad you are so far away - I’ve been debating getting another kitten ever since I lost my dear Bo in July. I’m looking for a boy cat since the three I have already are all girls.
Be careful with the dogs - I saw my cat (this was years ago) attack a St. Bernard when he wandered too close to her litter. She just clamped onto his face and held on for dear life until he ran the other direction. She had never been concerned about this dog before that. Neither animal was hurt, but the poor dog stayed far away after that.
