Just a quick update for you folks... I do have more piccies taken at the weekend just need to get a chance to upload them!
All the babies are doing well and coming on brilliantly and mum is being SUCH a good mum. Very attentive and happy. We have moved mum and babies to allow mum to have a little more choice to leave the babies or sit with them as she was getting SOOOO overwhelmed by them constantly wanting attention and feeding that mum was getting very narky and stressed. She is such a small little cat and the babies are BIG for their size to the end result was that the kittens won every time! poor mum was exhausted.
Moving mum and babies isn't something I would usually do but in this instance it was the best course of action and they are now all very happily living in our sitting room where babies are secure and mum Skye can pop in and out til her hearts content and it gives us the opportunity to continue working with mum.
This has in this instance been the very best move for mum Skye. She has been far more relaxed and I was very surprised last night when she actually jumped up onto my knee for a pet
followed by great interest in Pauls boot laces and she actually PLAYED!!!
We were in shock. She has been with us for so long and it now appears we are making some headway with her and she is actually able to act like a cat of her age. We are very much hoping that by having her begin to get accustomed with every day normal home life that it will help to bring on her trust even more and we will be able to find her a loving new home she deserves once babies are up and off her and she has been spayed.
Look out for piccies to follow once I get a chance to upload them... hopefully later today! They are seriously cute!
