It would be nice for you if they arrived this weekend, so you’d have more time to look after them. I’m predicting August 8th at 8 a.m., 6 kittens. Let me know!
@GrandmaLyn@katbyter We had two born on 4-4-04. There were five in the litter, we kept two, the other three went to a rescue to be adopted out.
We couldn’t catch the mom. Not that time.
She gave birth again on 8-3-04. We caught her kittens on 9-10-04 and got her on 9-11-04. She was taken directly to a vet clinic for spay, even though it was a Sunday.
@Kyeh Yeah, DD is pretty calm for most “unpleasant” things, including bathing, brushing, nail clipping, and medication. The same can’t always be said for her other cats.
@Kyeh@narfcake@unksol I had a cat who would walk in the bath water. He’d sit in the sink, play boneless velcro cat when I’d try to get him out and then finally, I’d turn the water on. When the sink was ready to overflow, he’d jump out and do the wet cat dance on the floor. I have one right now who drinks out of the faucet and water running down the side of her face doesn’t bother her in the least.
@Kidsandliz@narfcake@unksol
My two previous cats were fascinated when I took a bath and would sit on the edge of the tub and tap me with a tentative paw or sniff at the water, but never quite get in.
@Kidsandliz@Kyeh@narfcake kitcat would follow me in and jump up the sink up for me to turn on for him to drink but he had pet fountains so not much of a leap. Snicker
The three little kittens, they lost their mittens,
And they began to cry,
“Oh, mother dear, we sadly fear,
That we have lost our mittens.”
“What! Lost your mittens, you naughty kittens!
Then you shall have no pie.”
“Meow, meow, meow.”
“Then you shall have no pie.”
Had a 7# Manx cat who had 4 and then 5 before we stopped the kittens coming. Had a 10# cat with 5 also. I have heard of 7 in a litter but it was a big cat and tiny kittens. Can spit them out in a couple hours or over a full 24. Wishing momma cat a successful delivery.
I’ve been showing my friend this post bc his cat just had kittens and he was telling me his coworker or friends cat just had a litter of 10. That’s a lot of little kitties to find homes for.

@GrandmaLyn
Here’s the link to the pool. If you are on FB and want to be friends, let me know.
Oh, and every day is the same for me. We’re self-employed, working from home. No kids, no grandkids, non-religious.
@GrandmaLyn @lisaviolet can you friend me?
@GrandmaLyn I actually had kittens born 8-8-88
@GrandmaLyn @katbyter
Were there 8 of them?

We kept her, too. Never did lose her feralness.
@lisaviolet @moonhat I tried to several times, but it kept sending me to the front page only. Sorry!
@GrandmaLyn @moonhat You have to have an account to access my wall.
Tomorrow, starting around 5pm, and taking most of the night. 6.
I’m told that the feline species does not approve of water in quantity.
I’ve only tried to wash one once due to a pantry/cooking oil incident and the feedback was less than positive.
Kitties don’t like pools. And yet the pool is called the kitty…
So there is kitty for your kittens. On the internet. Where cats rule…
@unksol
@narfcake @unksol
That’s an incredibly docile cat!
@narfcake you would have the Japanese cheat code…
@Kyeh Yeah, DD is pretty calm for most “unpleasant” things, including bathing, brushing, nail clipping, and medication. The same can’t always be said for her other cats.

@unksol Korean.
@Kyeh @narfcake I stand by never bathing my american short hairs
@Kyeh @narfcake I must have pictures of KitKat coverd in oil. Then failed bath. And him looking miserable… Then an entire box of corn starch…
Maybe I was too panicked and they are just in my head. But they seems wrong considering how much dead cats I just went through

That’s what my guy Tuc does right now!

@eeterrific tough titty said the kitty but the milks still good.

@Star2236 And for mama to have enough mild for. He may need to do some supplemental bottle feeding.
No kitties yet?
@unksol Not yet. She seemed to be looking for a place this morning, but that passed.
@lisaviolet lol sorry for the highjack. Looking forward to pics
Is it kittens yet?
Here looking for little kitties…
Need our kitty update!
@MAPinnick She went into labor this morning after six, first kitten born at 6:15.
There are six. Three gingers, one tortie and two that look to be black, but not sure yet. Maybe another tortie.
@lisaviolet @MAPinnick but no pics
I can’t figure out which of these things is the slightly pouty face. It’s a cat with a single tear on my phone lol
@lisaviolet @MAPinnick

@Kyeh Thank you.
@lisaviolet @MAPinnick @unksol
