Not much to add really. :(

I sent Judith the list of purrs names so we may have a chance to use a few soon.

I was wondering if the mild weather would mean an early start

She will be going to stay with Nicky so I can take in any emergencies until they are ready to go to a fosterer who is free.  Makes sense as the calls tend to come through this way I suppose.

She will be in Nicky's bedroom, as Nicky sleeps lightly, she will hear if Mum is getting ready.  Then when Bren is back from her holidays, she will be doing some socialising, because she is good at that, and has a perfect size room where they cannot run and hide!

Any idea when she might be due?

She is a little slight thing with slender legs and a whippy thin tail, if she gets much larger she will look like a cartoon drawing of a cat!

Definitely days not weeks.

Nicky tells me her newish 'phone has a good 'photographic standard!

I did make an attempt yesterday to try with the laptop as it has a camera, but she had eaten her breakfast before I gogt someone to show me where the programme was that could do it!   :Crazy:

I spoke to Nicky tonight, and she says the Mum to be is getting bigger all the time!

Hopefully, she will give us a report when she has a moment.  :)

Mummy is now much smaller, but has 2 beautiful babies to show for it :Luv:

Yesterday morning she was found in the litter tray with a big ginger baby, but no more arrived.  :scared: all morning. After consulting with Angie and Judith, we rang the vets and took her in. One injection later, a happy kitten and mummy but no more babies even though she was still rotund.

She had a c-section yesterday tea-time and presented with one more, a ginger and white fluffy kitten. Mum and both babies came home late last night and are doing so well so far it`s hard to believe they have all been through major surgery.

Pictures when I`ve recovered, Mum is doing better than me at the mo!
