I'm very glad to hear it. Wynonna has captured all our hearts, with her care for Naomi. She needs her very own forever home.

Oh, my. You really should read the entire thing; this is an incredible story.so cute..how old r yr kittens.. I haven't read the full tread... so thats y don't know...

they are adorable...so cute..how old r yr kittens.. I haven't read the full tread... so thats y don't know...
Okay, since you haven't read the entire thread yet, here's the gist of it. @Wendydelmo has been fostering two cats, Naomi and Wynonna. Naomi is Wynonna's mother, and when Wendy began fostering them (I think; I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong) Wynonna had 4 newborn kittens with her (either that or they were born shortly after Wendy took them in). Naomi, on the other hand, was very pregnant, as in HUGE! There were some anxious days waiting for Naomi's kittens to be born, especially after Naomi apparently went into first stage labor which did not progress to second stage. After that stopped, Naomi went into serious labor the next day, which was about three and a half weeks ago. She gave birth to eight adorable kittens, with the entire thing "televised" via a live feed on Wendy's FaceBook page. Wynonna served as Naomi's midwife during this process. From the time labor came close, Naomi kept stealing Wynonna's kittens and attempting to nurse them. After the birth, Wynonna started stealing Naomi's new kittens to nurse. Wendy was doing her best to keep the newborns restricted to nursing from Naomi for the first couple of days so that they would all get the colostrum, which was difficult since the two mothers were cooperating with each other and not Wendy. Once the first couple of days were past, they seriously went over to shared nursing responsibility, which is very good because eight kittens is really too many for one mother. The four older kittens have been encouraged to begin eating some canned food mixed with KMR, which takes some of the weight off. Oh yes, and about 36 hours after the eighth kitten was born, Wendy found a ninth kitten, dead and apparently licked clean by the two mothers in an attempt to revive it. We don't know for sure, but we assume that the ninth was stillborn. All twelve of the surviving kittens have been named for country and western singers.so cute..how old r yr kittens..

And I still suggest that you read the whole thread to get a feeling for the anxiety and excitement all of this has caused, not to mention for all of the pictures and videos that Wendy has posted.
