We moved one of the cats over to the ranch. Actually we had moved 3, but the male walked back over to our house! Squeak, one of the females we moved, just had kittens on Sunday!
We had not seen her, and when we finally did, Katie went up to her to pet her, and realized she no longer had a fat belly!
Then we got pretty sneaky and pretended like we were not following her, but we were. She had her kittens in buckwheats portable dog house. She made a sweet little nest for all five of the kittens. We are, however, now down to just three kittens. There were two that were pretty small, one in between and then to giant orange ones. The 2 little ones are the ones that died.
I love how Katie handles that. She has made a good rule for herself that she will not name them until about 1 week. I asked her what she was thinking and how she was feeling about the dead kittens and she just looked at me and said that that was the cycle of life. And that she was glad she had not named him yet. Then she went on to tell me how she crawled into the dog house, and picked one up and it was all floppy and cold and she realize it was dead. I'm so happy she did not freak out!
