Well, crap. Turns out our resident feral, H.P, was pregnant. Not sure how I didn't notice, she didn't appear larger than usual over the last 3 months. Anyway, she gave birth to four tiny orange fluffballs early this morning or late last night. Either way they aren't more than a day old. Happy October, I suppose!
She had them in our storage trailer behind a bunch of plastic tubs, but surprisingly, showed me where they were this morning. I moved them and her into a large crate so the babies will get human contact and not be feral at all. I have NEVER seen her kittens this small before. She usually has them off in the woods and brings them to the house when they are around a month old. I put the little cat hole-house thing in there for her to feel secure with her babies but the silly girl crammed herself and all four of them into the tiny house.
Whatever, as long as she is content!
Luckily though, she is the only one of our non-spayed females to be pregnant. And I think that's because she is feral, and will go wandering looking for a male. Our other two non-spayed girls never leave the yard. Money has been extremely tight lately with my FIL's death last month, as much as I want to get them all spayed I just can't afford to when I have important bills like electricity and insurance that need paid first.
Anyway, enjoy a thread of photos and updates as these 4 cuties grow up. There are two males and two females as far as I can tell!
