Congrats on the kittens. I have been waiting for you to post saying Smokey had them. I am so glad she came home. I know if Dora did that I would be so worried. The kittens are so cute. Enjoy them.
YAY! I'm soooo excited for you and the new momma! They are ADORABLE!!! They are also very lucky that their momma found her way home so she could have them in a safe, loving place!!! YAY!!!
Smokey was still panting like mad this morning so I took her to the vet. she has been given a shot of antibiotics and has been put on a diet of high energy food and has to be syringed lectade. Her body just hasnt coped with it all very well so needs a lot of tlc for the next few weeks. Bless her my poor baby. Hopefully she will soon be on the road to recovery. I urge you to remember if you ever think that you cat might possibly need a vet take them asap your instincts are normally right and the sooner the better when it comes to the health of your loved ones. she is looking after her babies very well and needs her rest. Im going to go and watch over her now.

Aww thanks. She is till breathing quite heavily but has eaten loads and Ive managed to get some liquids into her too. The babies are feeding well but might start weighing them to keep an eye on it as vet said she doesnt have very much milk there. she seems quite happy really considering and is purring lots. Going to try get some more fluids into her now.
Been following this and I'm so glad that Smokey is doing well with her babies. You're right, we should always follow our instincts when it comes to our little ones' health! I'm glad you did, especially in this case. I can empathize with poor Smokey, sometimes those babies just take a lot out of us! And those baby dolls are just beautiful!! Thanks for the pics!
Smokey seems to be feeling a little better today. She is still not 100% but hopefully will be back to normal soon. I am thinking about keeping one of her babies as we lost our other cat Fudge a few months ago.They are all gaining weight well and have all put on at least .5oz since yesterday, is that about right? I think my fav at the mo is the black and ? striped We have named her Willow for now but that might change. The kids are deciding what to call the two grey ones one female one male so far the choices are:
Buffy and Spike
Lilo and Stitch
Bubble and Squeak
Bonnie and clyde
I think bubble and squeak are my favs but have let the kids decide any ideas would be appreciated.
