Guest Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 Hartleys kittens arrived yesterday evening (in the middle of my lovely cream carpeted living room floor, instead of the lovely set-up we had done for her in the kitchen! ), to an audience of various neighbourhood children, who just wouldn't leave, and a rather confused and concerned Tigger (NOT the father!). She had one, waited an hour then had another 3. She got them cleaned up, settled in and had a sleep, so we thought that she was done, despite a rather ominous looking bulge in her tummy still, before finally having number 5, 2 hours later, once the children had gone to bed. So the final tally is five - 2 tabby cats, the spitting image of Hartley, 2 black and white cats, and a completely black cat - the are just GORGEOUS!!!!!! Will post photos later, once I can get the camera working! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen & co. Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 Congratulations I guess she reached the moment that when you have to give birth, it doesn't really matter where you are, you just have to do it karen x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Shona, I like your chicken "plaque" on your wall It's a rather snazzy egg holder that I aquired for nothing from someone on the forum! It is much admired, and was one of the first things that was unpacked and put in place when we moved here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
