and a Girl and a Boy and a Girl and a Girl and a Girl...
Just 4 weeks ago one of the farm cats had six babies. A week and a half ago on Wednesday night she took off at dusk to go hunting, she never returned.I am now the proud nursemaid of these guys and girls.
Clockwise from the upper right corner; Buffy (male), Dirty Girl (female), Bling Bling (female), Cuddles (female), Socks (male), and Zig (female)
They are quite a handful. With the exception of a 7 or 8 hour stretch most nights where they sleep through the night, it's like having a newborn again. Except I'm buying expensive canisters of formula rather than being able to breastfeed. But there is still "diaper" duty, because they are just learning to go potty without assistance. And they soil their bed, so they make a ton of extra. laundry. All my old towels have been pressed into service.
Pretty soon they will be introduced to the litter box and the green grass outside and solid food!

Hehe, breastfeeding IS so much easier - but you're doing good Mommy :)
ReplyDeleteIt is some relief to know these guys grow up faster than children, I have been so tired I fall asleep in the middle of the day everyday.
ReplyDeleteOh - I feel sorry for the mother - I wonder what happened to her......They are so cute all piled on top of each other like that.
