I admit that kittens are being born tonight. The mamma kitty I took from bo's yard and into my home (temporarily) is cranking them out at long last. I admit I worried she was going to bust a gut, as she is so small and her belly has been very tight for the past three weeks. Three, like last time? Nooooooo. We have five and I think I felt a sixth one in there too. Before finding her a home, this kitty is getting spayed. The first three were a mix of black, like their daddy, and tortoiseshell like their mother. The forth surprised me by coming out all orange, and the fifth one looks all white. (Two of her prior batch looked all white and darkened up to red point siamese or burmese.) Thought I'd give her twenty minutes before checking to see if the next one has stopped lying transverse and has dropped into her pelvis. I admit I'm too old and too tired for this, AND my ass hurts from all the sitting I've done today. I had hoped to go to bed at 2 a.m. I admit I wish I had been able to get bo's neighbors to part with her during her last pregnancy, before she got preggies again. I admit to feeling a little desperate (momentary thing) at this moment about being able to find homes for them in 8-10 weeks. I don't want them to be owned by another dumbass who will give them some table scraps and a tiny bit of dog chow. I admit that her milk comes in...terrible. Her first batch all died. I barely rescued the second batch by starting her off on canned catfood. That was three kittens, and now she has five or six. Brewer's yeast helps bring milk in stronger but I don't know if I can get the wench to eat the catfood if I mix some into it. My old kitten baby bottles were tossed out after the last (and I swore, final) rescue. I admit it's time to go check on the (no name yet) mama kitty to see how she's doing. G'night everyone.
