Kittens!
Last weekend my family was surprised by the arrival of two kitten litters! We knew one of the cats was pregnant, but it turned out her daughter was pregnant too. Magic had two little babies that survived and Callie had three.
Talk about a long weekend! After Magic's first little one didn't make it we were all anxious about the rest of the litter. The second and third ones didn't come until morning the next day, but they're both healthy and fluffy. One squeaks a lot, the other is quiet, so my youngest sister named them Phineas and Ferb.
Even though Callie had a litter before, half the family crowded down to the basement to make sure she was all right when she went into labor. Callie decided it was too much crowd, so she picked up her first baby and hid under the basement stairs in a box.
Now both mammas have decided to crowd themselves and all the kittens into the same box. They're an absolutely adorable little furry pile. My mother was talking about moving them to something more spacious, but mother cats are a bit like mother dragons: you let them have what they want! They've staked out their box, and they'll probably stay until the kittens are old enough to roam.
Sadly, my apartment doesn't allow pets that are less than a year old. But that doesn't mean I can't keep my eye on one. *Plotting....*
