I have no recollection if I ever told you all the gender, so, I'll say it again lol.
Girl!


We named her Angel, because she has the most angelic face we've ever seen on a kitten! She is doing really well so far, thankfully.
Gracie has been doing great too!

However, we have had to make the unforunate decision to remove Angel from Gracie. We are araid gracie might accidently kill angel, because she has picked up very weird habits of picking angel up by her feet and holding her in the air, while angels screaming.
She also will roll her over and bite the underside of her neck and won't let go unless you make her stop.

During the day, we let gracie into the crate every 2 hours so angel can nurse, and they have a supervised visit.

Nighttime, Gracie doesn't go in the crate at all, and I am getting up every 2-2 1/2 hours to bottle feed Angel and make sure she's doing well.
Angel hasn't had any complaints about this change at all yet, and is just as comfortable at night with her new stuffed dog mommy as she was with gracie.
WHEW!

it sure is taking a toll on me though, I am about to pass out from exhaustion, dealing with this all day and also taking care of 3 dogs, 6 horses, 9 OTHER cats and doing barn chores morning and night is killing me. I hope I can get some true sleep soon!

I'm just glad Angel is doing good though! She feels really special to me!

Some cats are not cut out to be mothers (some HUMANS shouldn't be mothers either!). When is Gracie's spay scheduled? Glad things are going well for you.
