Pregnant With Multiples!

So just because my computer has decided that 5000 photos is all it will hold, does not mean that I can't post something!

Here is the story...

I got a cat for Addie at Christmastime. Her name is Emma. We ran out of food for Emma for about two weeks. We just sort of used free samples of cat foods and anything else we could find to feed her. It worked out pretty well because we were able to teach her to be a mouser. She caught a lot of mice and did not starve to death.

Well... we finally bought her some food about a week ago and ever since I have been wondering if she is pregnant or just eating too much!?

After researching on the internet, I have decided that Emma is pregnant. And just in time. Addie is staying with Grandma Connie and she called to inform me that she wants one of Bradlie's kittens and we could just sell Emma. Kittens really are cute, I can't blaim her except that Emma is only eight months old herself!

So after gently massaging her tummy to feel for babies I have calculated her due date to be around the 12th of July. I hid a box under the porch with a soft blanket inside in hopes that Emma will choose this secluded spot for birthing. I also am not telling my kids about this spot so the cat will feel it is safe. (As I type, I am realizing that I sound a little wacky! I think I might be a little baby hungry and this is as close as I can get. I will take it!)

Wish me luck on my new additions! I can't wait!

How fun! We always had kittens as a kid and it was a blast. It was always hard to give them away, but we learned a lot from it. Post pictures when you get them. The kids would love it.

You massaged her stomache to count the number of kittens? Nicki, I am so impressed! ANd that is a good idea to not let the kids know where her box is. I hope all goes well! Make sure you give us an update!
