Hey guys,

just wanted to share that gracie had her kittens yesterday really early in the morning. didnt even see it coming. she had barely nested, just gone in and out of her nesting box maybe 3 times in the last 2 weeks. but she still had them there which made for really easy clean-up. didnt notice a discharge of any sort. it went very smoothly. shes the new first-time mother to 5 little kittens. no names for all of them yet. we're calling one "gracie version 2.0" because he/she looks just like her. i'll post pictures in a reply to this sometime tonite or tomorrow.

woo hoo! woo hoo! woo hoo! I'm hoping to get some good kitty vibes sent my way pretty soon too! Been checking on Willow night and day
I dont know who's more anxious me or her


She is exceptionally cuddly tonight, sat on my lap for nearly an hour and let me pet her which is SO unlike her. Although, remember, we just adopted her 3 weeks ago, so who knows how her personality really is, and maybe she's just finaly warming up to me


At any rate -- congrats to all the new mommy's!!!!!!

Marian ~ momma to 4-year old Newf baby, Chewbacca, preggo-cat Willow, and a litter of 5 non-fur kids!

Awwwww! Babies! I know you are going to have fun watching them grow and mature! They bring so much life to a home! Enjoy them!

Now, if you haven't already, remember to start Gracie on a good, high-quality kitten food, both canned and dry and let her have as much as she wants. Nursing babies takes a lot out of a girl! *grin*

Best of luck,

Gaye

shes been on iams dry food for a while but just recently i started giving her the wet too in hopes to fatten her up a bit. shes sooo skinny and all her weight was the kittens. so now shes really tiny again. so far shes been holding up ok with nursing these 5. and eats ALLL the time. are there any signs i should watch for to make sure she can handle all of them?

also-- posting pics as soon as my boyfriend will host them on his site..
