Oops!


Well I am obviously no judge of cat anatomy. What we thought were 2 boy cats, were actually girls. And now, going with the prevailing theme of this home, we have a nursing cat and one pregnant one. Shadow and Shade are girls and after much pleading and tears, we now have inside cats for a while. Momma Shadow is up in our closet despite many foiled attempts to get her to like the comfy box in the pantry. So every morning, I see 4 little babies huddled together in the corner. There eyes are starting to open and they are about a week and half old. She gave birth to them out in the barn and kept moving them around. We would find the kittens in the weirdest places, like in an old flowerpot, laying in a box of rusty tools...etc. So now, until they are given away, we will be housing cats inside. Shade is the most affectionate pregnant lady I have ever met. She loves being inside and gets lots of loves from my kids. She hates the kittens however. Hope that changes though because I do not want to bottle feed kittens again. Hopefully she gives birth soon so I can get them both fixed together. Fertility reigns! Good thing Patrick has been fixed!

Look how sweet! I'm not an animal lover, but I must say that any kind of baby animal is so precious!! Makes me want to lay down and cuddle with one now that I don't have any babies of my own. I kind of miss that, but then again, what a relief to have a husband who's fixed too. ☻

Those are some pretty kitties. I love the colors.
